Detection Management Software (DMS) is a software application designed by 3M 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 3M instruments. DMS has the ability to customize your set-up
parameters, display data, manipulate data, and create reports.
Loading
To load DMS software
, follow the instructions on the back of the CD or download a trial version from
www.3m.com/dms.
It will automatically load the drivers for the EdgeDock1 and/or EdgeDock5. If loading from 3M Internet
site, please follow the directions online.
www.3m.com/dms
or access the 3M Detection Solutions home
page at

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).
