Bristol Instruments, Inc. 9
Software Installation
The NuView software provided on the Application Software flash-drive controls the Laser
Wavelength Meter and displays the collected data. The following computer hardware is
required to run the software.
• A PC running Microsoft Windows 7, 8 or 10
• At least 1 GB of available RAM
• USB 2.0 (or later) or Ethernet port for instrument connection, or a wired or wireless
network connection (to connect to the instrument over the network)
• Monitor
• Mouse or other pointing device
1 Insert the Application software flash drive into a USB port on your PC. Double click
on the NuView software installer to begin.
2 Once the software is installed, a shortcut to the NuView software will automatically be
placed on the Start Menu (or Application Menu) of the PC. Click on this icon to open
the application.
3 Navigate to the “Help” menu and select “Manual” to open a PDF file of the 671 User’s
Manual (this file). This User’s Manual will describe installation and operation of the
671 system.
4 The USB connection to the PC uses an RNDIS driver for virtual Ethernet connection.
The RNDIS driver is included with every Windows PC, but Windows 7 typically does
not have this driver activated. Windows 8 and 10 automatically activate the driver
when an RNDIS device is connected. Please see Appendix C for information
describing how to activate the RNDIS driver.
