Model 871A User’s Manual INITIAL INSTRUMENT SETUP
Bristol Instruments, Inc. 9
Software Installation
The NuView software, provided on the Application Software flash drive, controls the 871
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), 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 “Model 871A User’s Manual” to download a
PDF file of the 871A system’s User’s Manual (this file) from Bristol Instruments’
website. This User’s Manual will describe installation and operation of the 871A
system. A copy of this manual is also included on the Application Software flash
drive.
4 The USB connection to the PC uses a RNDIS driver for a 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 will activate the driver when a
RNDIS device is connected, but occasionally Windows 10 will incorrectly recognize a
RNDIS device as a COM port. For further troubleshooting regarding RNDIS, please
see Appendix C.
