INTRODUCTION
1.1
What is DMT?
The Serstech Data Management Tool (DMT) is an integrated part of the Serstech 100 Indicator
product family. DMT is a desktop/laptop application running on MS Windows, MAC OS X or Linux
operating system that manage the following tasks for the Serstech 100 Indicator;
•
Measurement Analysis
o
Analysing and housekeeping of all measurements done with your Serstech 100
instrument.
o
Effortless sharing of measurement results with other Serstech users and/or exporting
measurement data and graphs to 3
rd
party software.
•
Substance Library Management
o
Creating customized spectra libraries (“Local Databases”) by editing results from “Add
Substance” scans. This includes not only editing name, CAS information and Material
Safety Data for such substances, but also to group substances in various sub libraries
and easily export and import substances (or complete sub libraries) to/from other
Serstech users and instruments.
o
Reviewing all commercial reference libraries (“Factory Databases”) installed in the
instrument.
•
Instrument Configuration & Management
o
Add, Edit and Delete various users for the instrument and to give these users
customized user privileges - thus manage the integrity of “who is allowed to do what”.
o
Review log files (audit trails) of “who has done what and when”.
o
Review system related information and provide a convenient and safe way to install
firmware upgrades and/or other patches and files into the instrument.
Please Note:
DMT acts as a “big screen” for easy management of the Serstech instrument.
DMT is especially useful in order to export and/or share measurement files and/or reference
substances (or complete libraries) from “Local Databases”. This implies that DMT will also allow the
user to view and analyse measurements files stored externally, e.g. on the hard drive of your
computer.
Having said this, DMT however does not store any application data on your computer.
This means that you are not required to use the same computer each time you work with a specific
Serstech instrument, but for your next DMT session you can continue your work with any other
Windows, OS X or Linux computer on which DMT has been installed.
