C.3. STARTING THE FM-SPY APPLICATION
Before running the software application it’s necessary to switch the FM-SPY-T into the so
called "remote operation mode
". This is done by pressing the sequence
SAVE -> SAVE -> LO/RE
on the frontpanel keyboard (please refer to section B.2.4. on page 23) . If this sequence is
not inputted the FM-SPY-T is still awaiting commands from the keyboard and is not able to
be remotely controlled from the PC via the USB connection.
Now start the FM-SPY computer application
program by running the file
“fmspysdi.exe”
or click onto a previously defined shortcut rsp. a predefined icon on the desktop.
The Main Window opens up and displays the Protocol section which can be used to fill in
special infos regarding the coming measuring task (please refer to detailed handling
description on next page). During this process the computer is not talking to the FM-SPY-T
and is also not receiving any data from it.
In order to start the data transfer process with the FM-SPY-T via the USB interface the
following icon in the toolbar has to be clicked:
As long as the data transfer process is not started the FM-SPY-T is not doing anything and
cannot talk to the computer and cannot receive any commands from it.
The very first time the data transfer process is started the FM-SPY program is asking for the
inputting of a so called
SOFTWARE KEY CODE
This code is related to the serial number of the hardware device and comes together with the
original CD-ROM. In case the software key code is lost please ask your FM-SPY-T dealer or
MEDIA ENGINEERING for advice. After inputting the key code the computer memorizes it in
the so called WINDOWS®-registry. From that moment on it’s not necessary to key in the
code again, At least as the same FM-SPY-T box is hooked up to the same computer.
- if an error message window appears telling “check cable and power” please do so.
- if an error message window appears telling “device in local state” plese switch the FM-
SPY-T into the remote operating mode by keying in SAVE - SAVE - LO/RE
- if any other error messages appear there might be a conflict with the USB drivers. In
such situations de-install the FM-SPY application properly and install from new.
