3.1 – THE OIW-EX SERIES BASIC OPERATING FUNCTIONS
The OIW-EX Series of analyzers runs on a standard MS Windows user Operating System (OS). This manual assumes that
the user has a basic competence in using MS Windows OS. In everyday use the system requires minimal access to MS
Windows as it is primarily used to gain access to the data logs stored on the hard drive.
INFORMATION: This Operation Manual provides operational instructions for basic users only. Advanced
functionality will therefore be restricted to authorized personnel only.
3.1.1 – Starting the OIW-EX Series
Once installation is complete the system is ready to be turned on. The power up sequence takes approximately 3
minutes. During this time a variety of system level message are displayed on the screen – no user action is required.
The Windows OS starting message will appear followed by the Advanced Sensors OIW-SA software start-up window as
shown below:

When the OIW software starts it will automatically detect the hardware configuration and will indicate the model type in
the title bar of the window, as shown below:
