Configure the instrument
Use the setup utility software to configure the parameters kept on each
instrument
. When power is applied to the instrument, it looks for a new
configuration. If a new configuration is not found, the previously saved
configuration is used.
1. Open the SetupUtility.exe file that is installed on the PC to start the
setup utility program.
2. Select the Basic Setup tab.
3. Find the Port field on the right side of the window. Select the COM
port on the PC to which the instrument is connected.
4. Click Read Instrument. The utility reads the data that is saved on
the instrument.
5. Make sure that the data in the Instrument Information section is
correct (model number, communication option, firmware version and
communication address, if applicable).
6. In the General section, select the settings.
Option Description
Count Mode Sets the count mode. Does not affect the analog
output of analog units.
Differential—The particle counts shown for each
channel are the counts for each channel size.
Cumulative (default)—The particle counts shown
for each channel are the counts for each channel
size plus the larger channel sizes. For example, if
the channel is 0.3 µm, particles that are 0.3 µm and
larger in size are included in the count.
Sample Timing:
Sample
Sets the length of time for each sample (default =
00:01:00 = 1 minute).
Sample Timing: Hold Sets the length of time that data collection stops
after samples are taken (default = 00:00:00).
Count Cycles Sets the number of samples taken before data
collection stops and the hold time starts (0 =
continuous sampling).
Option Description
Slave
Address/Location ID
Do not change (default = 1).
Comm Timeout Sets the number of seconds after a communication
failure before a communication (Comm) alarm
occurs. To disable communication alarms, set to 0.
For instruments with the analog output feature, set
to 0.
Location Name Sets a unique identifier for the instrument.
System Date/Time Sets the date (YYYY/MM/DD) and time
(HH:MM:SS, 24-hour format).
Moving Cumulative
Counts
Sets the number of sample counts for Channel 1 or
Channel 2 that are added together and shown in
Channel 3 and Channel 4. Channel 3 shows the
cumulative counts for Channel 1. Channel 4 shows
the cumulative counts for Channel 2.
Store Partial Records Enables partial sample data to be saved to the
buffer. Partial sample data occurs when a sample
is stopped before it is completed.
Temp Units °C Changes the temperature units from Fahrenheit
(default) to Celsius.
Remote LCD Not available (disabled)
Count Alarms Sets the minimum number of particles for each
channel that will trigger a count alarm.
To see the channel sizes, select the Data Display
tab. Refer to Figure 15 on page 22.
