will appear. If AutoRun is disabled: (a) right click Windows Start menu, (b) select Explore; and (c) double-click MasterSetup.exe.
As an alternative to using the CD, you can download software from:

Authorization, (c) enter C3523DFA6C0A in the dialog box and apply the code.
Step 2 – Check Hardware
1. Verify that the voltage stated on the sticker [near the power switch] matches the voltage of
your intended AC power supply. If you need to change the voltage, refer to your user’s
manual.
2. Check the DIP switch, located on the rear panel. It should match the default setting as
indicated in the figure. Your user’s manual discusses setting options.
3. Signal conditioning cards are pre-installed at the factory. However,
if you need to remove or install a card, refer to your user’s manual.
Step 3 - Connect to the Host PC & Apply Power
ChartScan/1400 is pre-configured for serial port connection to the host PC. For IEEE 488 connection refer to the Hardware Installation section
of your user’s manual. For USB connection refer to the associated Quick Start document (QS RS-232_to_USB_Interface.pdf). The pdf is
included on your Data Acquisition CD (rev 8.1.2 and higher). A RS-232 to USB Interface Adapter Kit p/n CA-232-USB-KIT (available from
Measurement Computing) is required for USB connection.
Use a CA-47 cable (or equivalent) to connect the unit to your computer. The ChartScan-end of the CA-47 cable has a DB-9 connector. The
computer end has 2 connectors (DB9 and DB25). Other crossover-type cables can be used if wired as shown in the following figure.
