10.0 The LANDTEC System Gas Analyzer Manager (LSGAM) Software
LSGAM software is used to communicate with the GEM5000 and GEM2xxx family of
instruments. This allows a simple upgrade of information from older GEM2xxx instruments to
the GEM5000 instruments.
Configuration Options
The GEM5000 instruments and LANDTEC System Gas Analyzer Manager (LSGAM) software
can be utilized in a number of ways:
Configured for operation with the LANDTEC System online service
Used offline as a local application storing information on the desktop/laptop computer
Use of the GEM5000 out of the box without software; (this does not allow the user to
generate flow rate values, select comments or select IDs with the instrument. This also
prevents downloading of readings to the computer.)
Note: Certain functions that are new to the GEM5000 and are controlled by LSGAM may not be compatible
with the GEM2xxx instruments. In such cases, the most compatible configuration will be used. For
example: the GEM5000 supports switching of modes based upon ID setup but the GEM2xxx does not. As
such, ID’s with “NO Flow (GA Mode)” are sent to the instrument as “User Input”. Likewise, the ACCU-FLO
1.0V wellhead was introduced after the GEM2xxx was released and the GEM2xxx does not have support
for this particular flow device but the GEM5000 does. ID’s containing an ACCU-FLO 1.0V flow device will
be sent to the GEM2xxx instrument as “User Input”.
If using a mix of GEM2xxx and GEM5000 instruments, it is recommended to do all LSGAM
related setup work with the GEM5000 instrument in order to take advantage of the new
features.
