You can install OTSView on a computer for data post-processing. Use the
CD-ROM that came with your OV-1000 and follow the instructions.
To install OTSView on a computer:
Insert the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive. The CD should autoload to a menu
screen, if not load the CD by clicking on my computer and selecting the CD-ROM/DVD
drive. At the menu screen select the link to the RELEASE NOTE. Once the RELEASE
NOTE has launched please print the instructions and follow each step. Failure to
follow these instructions will result in lack of communication between the
device and computer.
