1.12 DATA EXCHANGE WITH PC
FALCON can exchange data with the PC when the Communication module is run from the home screen. See
below the different settings according to the type of communication. Once the communication is established, you
can also use the NEST software to upload or download routes. The instrument is also seen as an external drive
from the PC (see § 6.1).
1.12.1 Using USB (Connector H)
No settings are required; the PC automatically detects the instrument after its connection.
1.12.2 Using USB memory (Connector G)
It is possible to use a USB memory stick connected on port G to exchange the following data:
 Firmware update: see § 2.12
 Load and download routes: see § 3.3.2 and 3.6.2
 Issue balancing reports: see § 4.13
Note: USB memory stick format must be FAT32, NTFS format is not accepted. It is always possible to reformat it to
FAT32.
1.12.3 Using Ethernet (Connector D or F)
 Direct connection PC- FALCON setting:
o On PC: Setup Network
 DHCP = No
 Set the IP address: Ex 192.168.1.10
 Mask = 255.255.255.0
o On FALCON:
Shortcuts > Setting > Network >
 DHCP = No
 Set the IP address = e.g., 192.168.1.12
Note: the first 3 numbers must be the same (192.168.1) and the last one different from that
of the PC (10 ≠ 12)
 Mask = 255.255.255.0
Once the setting is done, to access the data use FALCON IP address, e.g., in the Explorer type
“\\192.168.1.10\Data”.
 PC- FALCON connection through LAN Network:
o On PC: Setup Network
 DHCP = Yes
o On FALCON:
Shortcuts > Setting > Network >
 DHCP = Yes
Connect Falcon to the LAN, set it in communication mode and wait until it gets its IP address.
The IP address can be read in Setting > About information page.
If there is a DNS, it is also possible to access the instrument with its name. The name is
Falcon_serial_number (e.g., Falcon_10015).
Once the setting is done, to access the data use FALCON IP address, e.g., in the Explorer type
“\\Falcon_10015\Data”.
