The instrument has 8Mb of memory, which is divided into 1Mb segments. When a segment becomes full,
data is then stored in the next segment.
Each time the user starts data logging, a new file is created. So, for example, six data logging sessions will
create six data files.
When a data logging session records data which spans across two or more 1Mb segments, a corresponding
number of files will be created and stored within the instrument and will apply to that particular data logging
session only. So, for example, two 1Mb segments spanned will result in two files created.
When the data is to be downloaded via the IonPC software, any files that have spanned two or more 1Mb
segments (i.e. two or more files) will be recognised and downloaded as a single file.
File
Allows the printing of files downloaded from your Fir
instrument.

Calibration Setup
The gas table provided with the software will be shown. If however, you wish to use a different gas table, previous
selections will be shown on the drop down menu, or you may click BROWSE to search for, and select the table you
require.
You can now choose to set up your Custom calibration to your specific gas and concentration requirements. Click
APPLY to send your specifications to the instrument. You are now ready to calibrate your Fir (see pg 18
for details.) The ‘greyed out’ areas apply to the FirstCheck software, only available if you choose to upgrade your
instrument.
