Connecting via USB
 1. Connect the USB cable to the Arm and PC & Power Adapter to the Arm XT60

 3. Start the LSS FlowArm software (available HERE)
 

 

4. Select the type of LSS Arm you are using (3 DoF / 4 DoF / 5 DoF)

It will automatically try to find the connected Arm but, if not, you can manually choose the appropriate COM port from the drop-down list & the baud rate (default is 115200)
