Accu Chek Compass Full Version



In the section, "Selecting a Personal Computer," Lazzaro gives readers with disabilities some excellent advice: First determine (with or without the aid of an AT specialist) which adaptive devices you will use and the specific system requirements for those devices. He could have added a caveat that manufacturers' guidelines are sometimes less than fully accurate; as experienced users know, often the minimum recommended specifications are barely sufficient to the AT user's needs. Generally speaking, the latter sections of Chapter 1 are replete with useful advice for the user with disabilities who is preparing to buy his or her first computer; for example, purchasing all your equipment from a local dealer who has expertise in AT installation can be especially helpful if you don't have (or do not wish to acquire) high-level technical configuration skills. Similarly, Lazzaro urges new users to seek informal consultation, technical guidance, and support from disabled peers and to experiment with demonstration versions of popular products whenever possible. He returns to and even underscores some of these important points later in the book in discussing the role of an AT evaluation, specialized training, and technical support.

In the U.S the software is free(If you don't mind having your results storedon-line). It is exactly the same as the U.K version !!!U.S Web link:- www.accu-chek.comSoftware's called Diabetes Assistant.I'm pretty sure you can download the drivers from there as well, but don'tquote me on that :)Yet again the U.K gets ripped of.Phil CType I, dx 5 yrs, North Wales


I've just bought the software an IR adaptor and I'm very pleased withit. At the same time I had them send me some free batteries andcontrol solution for my two active meters. The helpline were veryerr... helpfull.p.s. you can use the IR adaptor for connecting your mobile phone toyour pc too (nokia data suite for 8310 works nicely), only to use thecompass software you have to disable the IR port in the device manageras the compass software seems to access it directy (with its own builtin drivers) and sees a conflict if you have the XP IR port driversenabled.
