HAPSITE ER Operating Manual
2.4.4.4 Interfaces
There are several input/output devices within HAPSITE ER. These include the front
panel touchscreen, keypad and display, USB drive, crossover cable connection,
wireless connection, probe, power and logic connections to the Service Module,
Headspace Sampling System and SituProbe.
2.5 Software Systems
HAPSITE ER operates with two software systems:
Control software accepts inputs from the touchscreen, keypad and other
interfaces. It commands the operation and sequencing of all systems and
subsystems. The control software allows a method to be started from the front
panel. Design or modifications of a method require the use of HAPSITE ER
IQ™ software on an external laptop.
Analysis software analyzes the data from the Mass Spectrometer, accesses the
libraries as required, and displays the results of the analyses on the front panel.
Additionally, HAPSITE ER Application software, ER IQ, is a Windows
®
XP,
Windows 2000, and Windows 7 based system for laptop use. ER IQ is used to
design and modify methods, view data, analyze results, and generate reports. The
laptop is linked to HAPSITE ER via a specific crossover cable or wireless
connection. This linkage permits data and methods to be uploaded from
HAPSITE ER. It also allows for new or modified methods to be downloaded to
HAPSITE ER.
