The data exchange between the Vapodest and the PC is done using the Gerhardt

PC. The ComBox is part of the instrument and cannot be combined with other
Vapodest-instruments.
Please note!
To avoid problems during the installation, please make sure that the USB-driver
is installed on the PC PRIOR to connecting it to the ComBox!
