FabGuard Explorer Operation 
10.1  Operation (FabGuard Explorer)
Transpector CPM can be operated by any version of FabGuard gas analysis 
software. This chapter provides information on how to use FabGuard Explorer to 
operate the Transpector CPM Gas Analysis System.
FabGuard Explorer uses a bin to collect a specific piece of data. Bins collect 
selected masses (e.g., 2, 4, 18, 28) as opposed to collecting an entire range of 
masses (e.g., analog scan from 2 to 28, where each mass is collected for every 
scan).
10.2  Introduction
FabGuard Explorer software operates under Windows 7 and Windows 8. 
FabGuard Explorer provides valve control through recipes, manual control of 
components, and status information. It provides basic residual gas analyzer 
features, including trend analysis, bar graph, leak check, and analog/selected peak 
modes. Process monitoring includes recipe generation, automated data collection, 
norm generation, and process deviation.
NOTE: Additional information concerning FabGuard Explorer is located in the 
FabGuard Explorer Operating Manual, PN 074-528-P1.
This chapter assumes that the Transpector CPM Gas Analysis System is properly 
installed, and FabGuard Explorer software is installed and running on the computer 
intended to control the Transpector CPM Gas Analysis System.
