Computer information
6.2.1. ACM 150 touchscreen and keyboard
When any entry requires alpha-numeric characters, use the keyboard.
6.2.2. Remote computer access
The ACM 150 monitor may be operated from a remote computer via a network or the
Internet. All functions can be accessed remotely. The setup program is available to a
remote user who has authorized access. Local users have priority and can log out of
remote users.

Status and scan results
6.3.1. Area scanning
Typically, the ACM 150 monitor operates in normal scanning mode. The display updates
each time the ACM 150 monitor completes a scan of a sample area. A scan samples the
air from that area, analyzes the sample, and displays the results. The cycle time for each
update depends upon the setup and configuration of the ACM 150 monitor. Typically, the
scan rate is 15 seconds per sampled area. A longer scanning rate may be used to enhance
lower detection sensitivity.
6.3.2. Background
The ACM 150 monitor stops normal scanning every two hours and acquires a new
Background spectrum. A message may display on the monitor while this occurs. After the
background spectrum is complete, normal scanning resumes automatically. The
Background spectrum cannot be stopped. The operator must wait until the background
spectrum is complete before changing operating modes.
6.3.3. Status bar
The ACM 150 monitor operates in normal scanning mode or Automatic Mode unless taken
out of that mode for test/service purposes.
