Item Definition
Docking Station
Network
Also referred to as DSN, the network on which all components of DS2
Docking Station reside. A Docking Station Network consists of one
(1) Docking Station Server, multiple Instrument Docking Stations
(IDS), and multiple Docking Station Server Admin Console (DSSAC)
workstations.
Docking Station
Server Admin
Console
Also referred to as DSSAC, the Windows
®
application that is used to
administer the components of a Docking Station Network.
Docking Station
Server
Also referred to as DSS, server software that controls a Docking
Station Network. The DSS handles all functions of the IDSs and
DSSAC clients. DSS runs on a Microsoft Windows
2000 or
Windows
2003 server.
Full Span Reserve
The difference between a reading on an instrument and the actual
known gas concentration in a calibration gas cylinder, displayed as a
percentage, used to measure the accuracy of a sensor. A Full Span
Reserve value is computed by dividing a sensor’s reading by the
actual concentration in the gas cylinder. For example, if a sensor’s
reading was 70 ppm, and the concentration in the cylinder was 100
ppm, the Full Span Reserve value would be 70%.
Functional Test
See “Bump Test.”
Datalog data
Information about the levels of exposure to gases over a period of
time. This information is recorded on an instrument during its
operation.
Datalog Download
Event
An event in the DS2 Docking Station that automatically downloads
datalog data from a docked instrument and stores it in the DS2
Docking Station system.
iGas
A feature of DS2 Docking Station that utilizes Smart Card technology
to automatically configure gas cylinders for your IDSs.
iNet
Also known as the Instrument Network, a service provided by
Industrial Scientific Corporation that monitors a customer’s
instrument data to ensure that equipment is in optimum working
condition. If a service need is detected, appropriate action is taken
depending on the iNet program in which the customer participates.
Typical service options are an on-site service visit, replacement
product, or a new part.
Instrument
Any device that is used to detect gases or Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). For purposes of DS2 Docking Station, these
devices are within Industrial Scientific Corporation’s Portable
Instruments product line.
