SETUP 

Minimum PC Requirements 

IBM (or compatible) 486 with 4 megabytes of memory. The In-Transit 
FlashLink Software runs on all versions of Windows (3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP 
and NT). It will also run on Windows LAN servers if the “client computers” use 
Windows 3.1, 95, or 98. 

Some brands of laptop computers may not be compatible with the In-Transit 
FlashLink Software. See page 36 of this manual for a list of compatible laptop 
computer models or call DeltaTRAK

 Customer Service for the latest 

information. 

. The optional Serial Port Adapter will make most computers 

compatible. 

Connecting to Your Computer 

The recommended connection method is to use a standard 25-pin PC data cable, 
serial or parallel, with male on one end and female on the other. Remove the 
printer cable from the PC. Connect male end of the data cable to the back of the 
computer. The female end can be connected to the printer or to the data logger 
as needed.  

The data logger can be connected directly to the PC’s parallel (printer) port on a 
laptop or desktop computer, but mounting hardware on the PC may get in the 
way of making a reliable connection. 

 

IMPORTANT:

 Do not turn on your computer or reboot with a data logger 

connected to your PC as it may cause loss of data.
