10.4.3 Starting "CLV Setup"
The "CLV Setup" program is launched with the following default settings:
1. Switch on your PC and start Windows.
2. Select CLV SETUP from the Start menu. 
The SICK logo is then followed by the initial screen. 
3. Confirm the initial screen with "OK". 
CLV Setup then checks whether a CLV is connected to the COM 1 port on the PC and 
whether the communication parameters on the PC match those on the CLV. If this is the 
case, the "
Connected" status is displayed with the CLV specification in the bottom right 
corner of the screen, in the status bar. The detected CLV type is displayed in the toolbar 
in the 
DEVICE drop-down list (in this case: CLV 42x).
The software then loads the internal device description of the CLV and the defaults settings 
of the parameters/parameter values from its database and displays these on the tabs. The 
software then copies the current parameter set from the memory (RAM) of the CLV. This is 
displayed on the tabs instead of the default settings.
You can edit the current parameter set on the tabs. The default values are displayed when 
the device is used for the first time. 
Troubleshooting
If CLV Setup cannot establish communication, it displays "No connection" in the status bar 
on the bottom, right-hand side. There are two possible causes for this. Either the CLV is not 
connected or the communication parameters on the CLV do not match those on the PC. In 
this case, CLV Setup enters the CLV type of the device it last communicated with in the 
DEVICE drop-down list on the toolbar. The default setting is CLV 41x the first time CLV Setup 
is started. The software then loads the internal device description for this type and the 
default settings of the parameters/parameter values from its database and displays these 
on the tabs.
