CardioSoft PDF Export Software and Connectivity Server with Integration Installation Guide

CardioSoft PDF Export Software and Connectivity Server with Integration Installation Guide

This guide will show you how to install and configure the Intelligent Integration Interface for the CardioSoft PDF Export software using a software license dongle. For use with the MAC 600 to download ECGs. If you need the license keys or SWOPT files, please request them via Numed Installation Guides and Request Licenses. Before performing this installation, you will need the software license dongle and the ECG download cable with its USB to serial adapter.


WarningIf you have a CardioSoft MDR license instead of the software license dongle, please contact Numed support on the live chat for assistance before installation. If this installation is to replace an existing PC with the CardioSoft MDR license applied, you must contact Numed support before decommissioning the old PC.
