It is also possible to have SpecView Remote start automatically when the computer is started using SpecView's
Command Line options.
To do this:
1. Edit the shortcut properties of the SV32 icon on the desktop to add -r <connection name>
For example: C:\SV32\sv32.exe -r "Factory Floor"
2. Copy the shortcut to the Startup folder.

A dongle (copy protection key) with the Networking Option enabled must be connected to the Local computer.
The next step is to ensure that the required SpecView configuration has been created. Further detail on SpecView
configurations can be found in the SpecView Users Guide.
When developing a SpecView Configuration which is intended to be accessed by SpecView Remote it is very useful to
put all of these SpecView pre-defined Variables on to an accessible screen (GDW):
SpecView.Date
SpecView.Time
SpecView.GoodComms
SpecView.BadComms
SpecView.CommsErrorCode
SpecView.CommsErrorItem
Then if the Remote computer isn't seeing the expected values on the instruments then it is easy to check if there's a
problem with the SpecView Local's instrument communications.
Then once the development of the Configuration is complete;
from Runtime Mode use the Preferences menu command from the File menu. Click the Remote tab:
Check the appropriate box for whether the Remote is to use the LAN or Modem for the connection. If more than one
of the devices is checked then SpecView will 'listen' on both for remote connections.
Note that these will take effect immediately, you do not need to restart SpecView for changes on the Remote tab to
take effect.
The Timeout value is used in the event of a network failure. This is the number of seconds after which the connection
will be dropped.
The next step is to register the remote users. Use the User Setup menu command on the Remotes menu. Each user
