| − | ==Installing the Wi-microDig==
| |
| − | | |
| − | In both Windows and MacOS, you'll first need to add the Wi-microDig as a Bluetooth device with a virtual serial (or COM) port. The instructions [http://infusionsystems.com/catalog/info_pages.php?pages_id=236 here] explain how to do this.

| − | 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 (in MacOS) added in Connect, and that (in Windows) LoopMIDI was installed..

If Link 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. Link will not warn you if once of these conditions hasn't been met, it will just not connect. If you can't get Link to connect to the digitizer, maybe the Connecting section on the [[Link-14_Digitizer | Digitizer]] page can help you resolve the issue.
