USB Communication
Some of the range changes in the verification require remote commands to set
the range. To communicate between the PC and the 1730, the 1730 driver must
be installed. This driver is installed when the Fluke Energy Analyze (FEA)
software is installed.
Use these steps to identify the COM port:
1. Make sure the instrument is powered and connected with the PC.
2. Press: <Windows key>-R.
3. Type: devmgmt.msc <ENTER>.
4. Go to Ports (COM & LPT) and double-click to open the sub-tree.
5. Find Fluke 1730 Energy Logger. The port number is shown in parenthesis
after this text, for example, COM6.
A detailed description of the spreadsheet is found in the How to Use the
Spreadsheet section.
