5.7.2. Overview
The microAeth Manager software is designed for use with microAeth MA series instruments only. The
microAeth Manager is intended to help with the conguration and management of the microAeth MA series
instruments and their collected data. Only one microAeth can be connected to the computer and microAeth
Manager software at a time. Plug in the USB cable to the USB port of the microAeth. Plug in the USB A
connector of the cable into a computer where the microAeth Manager is installed. Turn on the microAeth
MA series instrument and open the microAeth Manager. The instrument serial number and name will appear
in the microAeth Manager device section of the main application window and then the instrument can be
congured and its data can be downloaded and managed through the application.
5.7.2.1. Main Application Window
The microAeth Manager main application window consists of three sections: Manage, Notications, and
Device Section.
5.7.2.1.1. Manage Application Button and Section
Clicking the ‘Manage application’ button in the top right of the main application window will toggle
open and close the Manage application section where the user can manage general settings and nd
out more information about the application.
The ‘Info’ button and the application version are in the top right of the ‘Application settings’ section. If
the ‘Info’ button is clicked, a window will appear with more detailed information about the application,
legal notices, a link for checking for available microAeth Manager updates, and a link to the AethLabs
website. To check if updates of the microAeth Manager are available, click the 'Check for
updates' button. A web browser will open and take you to the AethLabs website for more information
about the latest version available of the microAeth Mansger.
The 'Show 24 hour format' toggle in the 'Application settings' section can be used to change the time
formatting in the application.
The ‘Clear database’ button in the ‘Local database’ section in the top right allows the user to delete
all data previously downloaded from microAeth MA series instruments and currently stored in the
microAeth Manager application local database. If the ‘Clear database’ button is clicked, a window will
appear to conrm if the user would like to delete all data in the application database. The user must
conrm by typing in ‘DELETE’ and clicking the ‘Delete all data in the application database’ button.
ONCE THIS ACTION IS COMPLETED, IT IS NOT REVERSIBLE. Clearing and deleting the data
in microAeth Manager local database does not delete data stored on a microAeth MA series
instrument. It only deletes the data that was previously downloaded and stored in the microAeth
Manager local database on that specic computer. AethLabs recommends regularly deleting the
data in the microAeth Manager local database as the time it takes to access the microAeth Manager
local data base through the 'Manage data' button will increase as the data base size increases.
5.7.2.1.2. Notifications Section
The notications section displays notications in the expandable and collapsible log. Clicking the ‘View
all notications’ button on the right of the main application window will toggle open the notications log.
Clicking the same button labeled ‘Collapse notications’ will collapse the notications log to display the
single latest notication.
5.7.2.1.3. Device Section
The device section displays the interface for conguring settings, downloading data, and managing
data from microAeth MA series instruments. This area will display ‘Looking for connected devices’ and
a searching animation when no microAeth MA series instruments are connected and or communicating
with the microAeth Manager.
When a microAeth MA series instrument is connected and communicating with the microAeth Manager,
the section ‘Local devices’ and the instrument device pane for the specic connected microAeth MA
series instrument will appear below.
The name and serial number of the instrument are displayed in the top left of the instrument device
pane title bar. The name of the instrument can be edited by clicking on the name of the instrument in
the device pane title bar.
The USB icon and device pane toggle button are displayed in the top right of the instrument device
pane title bar. The USB icon will display green when the instrument is connected with the microAeth
Manager. The device pane toggle button with the vertical arrow in it, located in the far right of the
instrument device pane title bar, is used to expand and collapse the device pane. The device pane
displays status, settings, and data information for the connected instrument.
5.7.3. Configuration and Status of Instrument and Operating Parameters
The microAeth Manager software can be used to only congure microAeth MA series instruments when
the microAeth is connected to the computer. Only one microAeth can be connected to the computer and
microAeth Manager software at a time. Plug in the USB cable to the USB port of the microAeth. Plug in the
USB A plug of the cable into a computer where the microAeth Manager is installed. Turn on the microAeth
MA series instrument and open the microAeth Manager. The instrument serial number and name will appear
in the microAeth Manager device section of the main application window and then the instrument can be
congured through the microAeth Manager device pane.
5.7.3.1. Battery
The microAeth Manager displays the percentage of battery remaining in the microAeth.
5.7.3.2. Status
The microAeth Manager displays the current status of the microAeth.
5.7.3.3. Date/Time
The microAeth Manager displays the current date, time, and timezone offset of the microAeth. Click the
‘Time options’ button to show the ‘Change time options’ window to modify date and time settings.
5.7.3.3.1. GPS time synchronization
The GPS time synchronization toggle switch in the ‘Change time options’ window of the microAeth
Manager (click the ‘Time options’ button on the main application window), can be used to turn GPS
time synchronization on or off.
