For this walkthrough, you will need:
 
 
 
*A USB-microDig.
 
*A Turn (or other) sensor for testing.
 
*[http://icubex.com/editorx EditorX software].
 
*[http://icubex.com/connect Connect software] (included in the EditorX software package).
 
 
 
 
 
==Installing the USB-microDig==
 
 
 
In both Windows and MacOS, you'll first need to add the USB-microDig as a virtual serial (or COM) port by installing its [http://icubex.com/umddriver driver]. Once this is done, you can continue to the next section.
 
 
 
 
 
==Connecting to the USB-microDig==
 
 
 
1. Connect the Turn sensor (or any other sensor) to input #1 of the USB-microDig as shown below, with the red wire on top and the black wire on the bottom.

2. Start [[Connect]].
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:connect_logo.png|100px]]
 
 
 
 
 
3. The USB-microDig entry with matching serial number should be listed in bold. If you don't see the USB-microDig listed, verify that the [http://icubex.com/umddriver driver] has been installed.
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:connect-14_umd_enabled.png||Connect for MacOS]] [[File:connect-10_umd_enabled.png||Connect for Windows]]
 
 
 
 
 
4. Start EditorX. Note that in MacOS, the next time you run EditorX and Connect isn't already running, Connect will be started automatically when starting EditorX.
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:editorx_logo.png|100px]]
 
 
 
 
 
5. In the [[EditorX-73_Setup | Setup section]] at the top, choose the USB-microDig with matching serial number. Upon connecting, the port menu will turn green.
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:editorx-73_setup.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
6. Click the "Off" button under number "1" in the Sensors row to turn on sampling of sensor input 1. A number right below the button will appear, which represents the sensor value.

If EditorX failed to connect to the digitizer, maybe the Connecting section on the [[EditorX-73_Setup | Setup]] page can help you resolve the issue.
 
 
 
 
 
=Wi-microDig=
 
 
 
==What you need==
 
 
 
For this walkthrough, you will need:
 
 
 
*A Wi-microDig.
 
*Bluetooth adapter (built in to your computer if it's a Mac).
 
*A Turn (or other) sensor for testing.
 
*[http://icubex.com/editorx EditorX software].
 
*[http://icubex.com/connect Connect software] (included in the Link software package).
 
 
 
 
 
==Adding the Wi-microDig as a Bluetooth device==
 
 
 
In both Windows and MacOS, you'll first need to add the Wi-microDig as a virtual serial (or COM) port. The instructions [http://infusionsystems.com/catalog/info_pages.php?pages_id=236 here] explain how to do this. Once this is done, you can continue to the next section.
 
 
 
 
 
==Connecting to the Wi-microDig==
 
 
 
1. Connect the Turn sensor (or any other sensor) to input #1 of the Wi-microDig, as shown below, with the red wire on top and the black wire on the bottom.
 
 
 
[[File:wmd_connect.jpg|300px]]
 
 
 
2. Start [[Connect]].
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:connect_logo.png|100px]]
 
 
 
 
 
3. In Windows, wait until a message has appeared in the Windows System Tray confirming that the Wi-microDig has been recognized by Connect. In MacOS, in Connect, enable the Wi-microDig with matching serial number. Once enabled, the blue LED on the Wi-microDig will illuminate and the Wi-microDig entry will be listed in bold. If you don't see the Wi-microDig listed in Connect, make sure it was added as a Bluetooth device to the operating system and added in Connect.

[[File:editorx_logo.png|100px]]
 
 
 
 
 
5. In the [[EditorX-73_Setup | Setup section]] at the top, choose the Wi-microDig with matching serial number from the pulldown menu. Upon connecting, the port menu will turn green. If EditorX doesn't connect to the Wi-microDig, check that your Bluetooth is turned on, that the Wi-microDig is powered and that it is listed in bold in Connect. EditorX will not warn you if once of these conditions hasn't been met, it will just not connect.
