Usage Precautions
Note the following precautions when using this program:① Connect the USB cable correctly for receiving data.
② Avoid using similar functions on other applications at the same time when data is being received.
③ Do not force-quit this program (e.g., using the Ctrl + Alt + Del operation).
The program shutdown processing saves configuration parameters for the next time the program
starts. Force-quitting the program may cause problems the next time the program starts.
④ Do not directly rewrite data files.
