Software
Setup
The GasClam is programmed in the setup window and is accessed by left clicking the „set up‟ navigation tab, and the set
up window then appears as below.
Sampling Rate
The sampling rate is defined in the Set Sample Rate box, the fastest sampling rate is 3 minutes (This is how long all the
processes take), the longest 999 hours and 60 minutes..
Sample count
The number of samples to be taken can either be set to the maximum possible by clicking the „Always Maximum‟ button
or defined by the user in the Sample count box. The maximum figure displayed is 65000 (total memory space) minus the
number of stored samples, the user defined value can be up to and including this.
The estimated date and time of the end the programme is displayed under the text button. This information is calculated
as follows: (Sample count * sample rate) + actual date and time.
This is set to 800 as default to ensure the moisture stripping filter is not compromised.
Device ID
The user can specify the name of the GasClam in the Device ID box. This is useful if there is multiple GasClam on a site
as the borehole number can be allocated to the GasClam. This information is used to create a filename when the data is
downloaded.
