FAST View v1.0
Installation and Operation Instructions


Software Operation Instructions:
	When you start the application, you will initially be at the DASH screen. You can either OPEN a previously saved file or DOWNLOAD a LOG from your Wideband Air/Fuel Meter. 
Download a LOG from your Wideband Air/Fuel Meter:
1.	Using your communications cable supplied with your FAST RPM Module, connect your PC serial or USB (with supplied USB to Serial adaptor) to the top connector of the Air/Fuel meter. 
2.	Using the DC power supply supplied with your FAST RPM Module, connect it to the bottom connector of the Air/Fuel meter. Without pressing any buttons the Air/Fuel meter will stop at the first selection screen. This is the screen that you must be in to download a LOG from the meter.
3.	With the FASTView software open, press the DOWNLOAD button. A warning will be shown if an Air/Fuel meter cannot be found.
4.	When done downloading, a Save window will open asking you if you want to save this file to your PC. If you select YES, it will open the save menu and you can select where on your computer you would like to save your files and give this file a name. The FAST Wideband Air/Fuel LOGS are stored with the extension .RON.
