TSI Detection Mangement Software (DMS)
TSI Detection Mangement Software (DMS)
TSI Detection Management Software (DMS) is a software application designed by TSI that
runs under the Windows operating system. You can use DMS for a variety of functions related
to the Edge dosimeter and with many other TSI instruments. DMS has the ability to customize
your setup parameters, display data, manipulate data, and create reports. For additional
information, access the online help manual by clicking on Help | Content.
Loading
To load DMS software, follow the Quick Start Guide instructions or download from
www.tsi.com.
The software will automatically load the drivers for the EdgeDock1 and/or EdgeDock5. If
loading from TSI Internet site, follow the directions online at www.tsi.com.
Docking Station Functionality
Depending on the kit you purchased, you may have an EdgeDock1 and/or an EdgeDock5.
Both are designed similarly with the same LED indicators. The main difference with the
EdgeDock5 is that it has five bays for docking, charging, and/or managing the dosimeters. If
desired, the EdgeDock5 will charge all docked instruments at one time.
The docking station serves a dual-purpose role. (See Table 2-2 for an explanation of LEDs
and components.)
1. It is used to charge the battery on the dosimeter(s).
2. It is used to communicate between the software (DMS) and the dosimeter (i.e., import,
export settings and measurement files).
