    + # Download the USB drivers by clicking here .  
    + # Open the zip file by double clicking on it.  
    + # Launch the installer by double clicking on it.  
    + # Follow the prompts to finish the installation.  
    + ====Installing NetO32====  
    + The OPL9815 uses a piece of windows software called NetO32 to save the data file to the computer. To install NetO32 follow the steps below.  
    + # Download NetO32 by clicking here .  
    + # Open the zip file by double clicking on it.  
    + # Launch the installer by double clicking on it.  
    + # Follow the prompts to finish the installation.  
       
    + ===Configuring NetO32===  
    + * Select 'Tools' > 'Options'  
    + ** Choose RS232 from the menu at left  
    + *** Choose the COM port for your cradle (COM 1 if using RS232, check Device Manager for USB ['Start' > 'Run' > 'devmgmt.msc' > click 'OK' and look under the 'Ports' section])  
    + *** Change Baudrate to 115200  
    + *** Change IrDA Device to 'None'  
    + ** Choose 'Download' from the menu at left  
    + *** Click the 'browse' folder icon at right to change the destination folder of the file once you have downloaded it.  
    + *** Choose between 'Append', 'Overwrite', and 'Unique' to determine what happens when you download a data file but a file by that same name is already present.  
    + ** Click 'OK'  
    + * Select 'File' > 'Save As'  
    + ** Choose a file name appropriate for you (such as your name or your company's name) to save the settings you just changed.  
    + ** Now every time after this that you open NetO32 you must select 'File' > 'Open' and choose this file to load your settings.  
    + * Select 'Protocol' > 'Start'  
    + NetO32 is now in 'Polling' mode. Note that you should see the yellow light on the cradle blinking steadily. This means it will sit here indefinitely sending queries to the cradle and waiting for the right response to start a download. Multiple downloads can all be done without ever closing NetO32. When you are done using NetO32 simply select 'Protocol' > 'Stop' and NetO32 will discontinue polling mode. The application can then be closed.  
       
    + ===Starting the Upload from your OPL9815===  
    + After NetO32 is in Polling mode (see above) follow these steps. First, of course, it is expected that you will have scanned some barcodes.  
    + * Select 'Send Data' from the main menu (use the arrow keys to move up and down and trigger (center key) to select an option.  
    + * The screen that appears should say 'Transmit Data via Cradle NETO Protocol -PRESS ANY KEY-'. Press any key.  
    + * The unit will change to say 'Sending File Waiting NetO Connection ...'. At this point simply place the unit on the cradle.  
    + * The OPL9815 will emit a series of short beeps and display 'File Was Sent. Delete Data File?'. Choose either YES or NO by pressing the appropriate arrow button below the display. The NetO32 status log will indicate that the data was downloaded.  
    + * Your Data File is now on the PC in the folder specified previously.

  The OPL9815 firmware is split into two levels, an Operating System and an Application. The Operating System Exposes the functions of the hardware to the Application level firmware, and the Application determines how the device behaves. The Operating System is developed and maintained solely by Opticon, however anyone can make an application for the OPL9815 using using the Renesas RX compiler.
