SiDiary and Meter Drivers

jkeopf:
I am new to this site and I am close to ordering the software for use on both Windows PC and PPC.  I have one question for now.  It seems strange to me that you have to purchase the drivers for the various meters.  Am I understanding this correctly?  In order to download my meter readings to the desktop computer, I need the driver for my One Touch Ultra?

Why are these drivers not available for free once you purchase the software?  What can you do with the software if you don't use it in conjunction with your meter?

Thanks for the assistance and setting me straight. :patsch:

Hi JKeopf!

You can buy what you need, you don´t pay for thinks your not using...
But there is a package to buy, with all Drivers and Components.
If you have a PPC, normaly you write your values of Carbs, Insulin...
why don´t write the values of Glucose in the PPC  :kratz:
If you write your values in the PPC then you don´t need the Drivers...

Hi JKeopf,

Lord has already answered your question.

I just want to add some details about our philosophy:
We are providing our software modules as a modular construction system, which means that you can select exactly these modules, that you want to use. If one don't need a mobile version, why should he pay for it? If one wants to track his data with a mobile device, why he should pay for drivers for meter imports etc.

So with our system the customer can decide about what to purchase and there's no need to pay for stuff that you don't want to use...

Cheers, Alf.

Hi All,
I have just purchased the Sidiary USB stick. My plan was to use this with my laptop and download the data from my sons freestyle mini onto the laptop through SiDiary. I purchased the Sidiary stick and was told I also needed a cable (from freestyle mini to laptop - to be sent from freestyle) and that I also needed another cable to connect to the freestyle cable to make it USB compatible. After waiting a month for the cable I have now been able to connect everything together but the laptop cannot read the data from the freestyle mini.
This is where I stumbled across this website - looking for a driver!
Now if I understand this correctly, I now need to buy something else now to make this work ??? can anybody help me out here? or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers

Darren

It would be great if you could drop me a line where you have purchased the SiDiary USB-stick (because Sinovo is currently selling this product in Germany only)?!

Yes that's true since all Freestyle meters have a serial interface but not a USB-connector. So if your pc doesn't have a com-port, you will need the USB->Serial adaptor.

I'm really interested in the shop that have sold you the package...

No, you don't need any additional licences! The USB-stick contains licences for the Windows-PC-application and all drivers including the Freestyle driver. There must be a technical issue probably with the cable or USB->Serial connector. I would suggest to contact our support-hotline to see what's going wrong...perhaps there's just a misunderstanding regarding the driver: The USB->Serial cable will need a manufacturer driver which will translate the serial data into the USB format. SiDiary needs a driver to understand the data that the Freestyle is sending (and this one is included with the USB-Stick!)... ;)

Cheers, Alf.
