To View the Flow Rate on the LCD 

 
Rotate the scroll switch in either direction to view the volumetric flow rate during 
normal operation.  The flow rate will temporarily be displayed as follows: 
 
 

 

 

 

 

O3= 5.3 ppb 

 

 

 

             Flow= 840 cc/min 

 

To Transmit Logged Data to a Computer Using the USB or Serial Port 

 
Connect the USB or serial port of the instrument to your computer using the 
appropriate cable.  Enable a data acquisition program on the computer such as 
the 2B Technologies Display and Graphing Software, which can be 
downloaded at: 
 

http://twobtech.com/software.htm 

 
Alternatively, HyperTerminal can be used (available on most Windows

 

platforms, usually in Start/All Programs/Accessories/Communications/Hyper 
Terminal) or Terra Term Pro, which can be downloaded at: 
 

http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html 

 
The correct settings for receiving data are: chosen baud rate (2400, 4800 or 
19200); 8 bits; no parity; 1 stop bit. 
 
Click the Select button to obtain the 

Main

 

Menu

.  Go to the 

Dat

 submenu by 

clicking on 

Dat

.  Next, click on 

Xmt

.  The message “Logged Data” will be 

written to the serial port, followed by a carriage return and all of the lines of 
logged data.  After all data are transmitted, the message “End of Logged Data” 
and a carriage return are written.  After transmission is complete, you can 
return to any position in the menu or resume ozone measurements.  The 
logged data continues to be available for transmission until a new data log is 
started.  
 
 

To Set the Calibration Parameters 
 

The instrument is calibrated at the factory where slope (S) and offset (Z) 
parameters are entered into the instrument’s memory.  These preset calibration 
parameters are given in the instrument’s Birth Certificate and recorded on the 
calibration sticker on the back of the instrument.  However, the calibration 
parameters may be changed by the user.  For example, it may be desirable to 
provide a positive offset by a known amount (e.g., 10 ppb) if the analog output
