SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION WITH DESKTOP
There are many advantages to being able to connect the
PAA3 with your desktop computer or notebook. It allows
remote operation of the PAA3, for one, which is particularly
useful when taking measurements in areas that require an
absense of any individuals. It also allows users to to save
and print data stored in the PAA3's memory.
The PAA3 software can be found on the website. With this
program, most functions are easily accessible through a
menu identical to that of the PAA3 device itself.
ATTENTION: When operating the PAA3 through a PC, it
is recommended that you make use of the power adapter
instead of batteries. Also, choose an optimal position for
the PAA3 to be placed before controlling the PAA3 with
your computer.
