QS Learning the Manta 2 in 30 Minutes
I’m the last to blame you if you are determined to read as little of this manual as possible. So, if you
have any experience with multiprobes – you know what a cable looks like and you know what a pH
buffer is – you can get by just fine reading only A1 – A3. The rest of you should at least skim the
sections on software and sensors.
I tried to make this manual at least half as long as those of other multiprobes on the market just so
you’d feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. But I couldn’t do it – the Manta 2 is just too easy to
use. We did that on purpose.
However, if you have any questions about the Manta 2, multiprobes in general, water chemistry,
Longhorn baseball schedule, etc., please call Eureka at 512-302-4333 x? We’ll drop what we’re
doing and talk to you until you’re trying to figure out a polite way to get off the phone.
QS1 Loading the Manta 2 Software on Your PC – 5 Minutes
1) Find the Eureka Install Disc that was delivered with your Manta 2.
2) Stick the disc into your PC’s CD-ROM drive tray and close the tray.
3) Verify, in a few minutes, that your PC desktop has a new icon called Manta 2 Control
Software.
4) The Manta 2 software will start automatically, but you’re going to click on Close because
you’ve got to load your USB to Serial Driver now.
QS2 Installing the USB to Serial Driver
1) Plug the USB to Serial Adapter (it’s the blue thing with the USB connector on a one-foot
cable) into any USB port on your PC.
2) Your Windows system will give you the “Welcome to New Hardware Found” box. Click the
little circle beside “Install the software automatically” and click on Next.
3) Your PC will find the USB to Serial Driver software on the Eureka Install Disc and load it
automatically after you click on “Continue Anyway” when you see the box that says that the
software has not been verified to be Microsoft compatible.
4) Then you’ll see the box that says your hardware (meaning the USB to Serial Adapter) is
successfully installed and ready for use.
QS3 Connecting the Manta 2 to Your PC – 5 Minutes
1) Connect the USB Adapter to any USB port on your PC.
2) Connect your Manta 2 Cable to the USB adapter.
3) Connect the Manta 2 to the Cable.
4) Click on the new Eureka icon.
5) Wait a few seconds while the PC and Manta 2 automatically find each other, and then you’ll
see the user interface Main Screen and rolling data from your Manta 2.
