Starting Mintaka Commander

With your Duo connected to the computer run MintakaCommander. With the drivers installed properly, it will open with a window like the one below, along with a notice that it is loading data from the Duo to the computer. This will a take a little time depending on how long the Duo has been running, but subsequent synch operations are much faster as it just has to add the new data. Then it will automatically display a graph of the data.
