Use this for pc's running Vista and/or .NET 2.0 tutorial The (beta v2.17) functionality is similar to it's predecessor. Major difference is that the com port is selected automatically and an intermediate file (ctcap.txt) is used to insert processor data possibly obtained by other means. The four buttons are used in order from top to bottom. "Start" - establishes the sub folder only. You may click on any file to make the selection. "Capture" - (optional) uses the 1st available com port to read processor data into the intemediate file ctcap.txt. This part is complete when the panel turns green. IMPORTANT: THE DATA STILL MUST BE ADDED TO THE DATABASE. "Type1" or "Type2" (depending on your processor) This also turns the panel green and displays a "good reading" message in the middle. If you create your own ctcap.txt file by other means (with 17 complete lines to allow for discard of the first), the "Capture" button is not used.
