The application can be run with or without a Noise-Sentry-RT-W connected. When a Noise-Sentry-RT-W is not connected the application can only be used to display and analyze a previously saved log file. All the controls and indicators related to the instrument are grayed out.

 

To control a Noise-Sentry-RT-W using the Instrument_Manager, proceed as follows:

 

1. Connect the instrument to an available USB connector on the PC.

2. Make sure that the charge LED lights-up yellow or green, and that the operation LED starts blinking. If not, review the installation procedure, or see section Troubleshooting.

 

3. Go into Start\All Programs\Noise_Sentry_RT_W_Manager, and run Noise_Sentry_RTW_Manager.exe.

4. The front-panel described in Figure 2 appears, and the application tries to connect to the instrument. If it fails to find the instrument it indicates No Device Found. If this is the case see section Troubleshooting

5. Otherwise the application immediately starts communicating with the Noise-Sentry-RT-W.
