Quick Start for WT3

(v2.0)

on Windows Vista

*** VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE ***

NEVER connect the test leads of the WT3 to a speaker that is connected to any other

equipment or to an equipment ground! Severe damage could occur to the WT3 unit or to

the other equipment! Only connect the WT3 to an unconnected loudspeaker.

Here are step-by-step instructions to get you going quickly. Later, as you wish to learn more about using WT3, you can refer to the

built-in User’s Guide found under the Help menu.

1) Install the WT3 Software.

Insert the WT3 CD into your PC’s drive and allow the file named "WT3_setup.exe" to auto-play.

(Alternately you can double-click on the file "WT3_setup.exe" to start the installation process.)

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the software installation. Do not launch the software yet.

2) Connect the WT3 hardware unit to any convenient USB port on your computer.

Upon being connected and powering up the unit requires a full 90 seconds to stabilize before

measurements can be made. After this plug-in delay, impedance measurements take only a few seconds

to complete. Any USB port can be used with WT3 but each port remembers its setup. For this reason you

can either use WT3 with one particular USB port or you can setup each of your USB ports in turn to use

WT3. It is not a bad idea to just plug the unit into each port in sequence and set each port for 2-channel

input as required for WT3. The 90 sec. settling time is related to the requirement for precision

measurements down to 1 Hz.

3) Setup the USB port for 2-channel input and verify the input level for Windows Vista.

From the Windows “Start” button select Control Panel/Sound. Once the Sound control panel opens select

the “Recording” tab as seen below (left). Next, double-click on the device “USB Audio CODEC” to open

the Properties window seen below (right).
