Docking
Communicating & downloading data
By using your docking station, USB cable, software, and your
dosimeter, you can quickly communicate between the software and the
dosimeter. There are two methods for communicating which are:

Send setup data: Enables you to configure your set-up
parameters in QuestSuite Professional II (QSP-II) and download
these parameters to the Edge.

Retrieve data: you have the capability to retrieve the data from
the dosimeter into QSP-II in order to view and analyze your studies
in QSP-II’s charts, graphs, and reporting functionality.

How to connect your dosimeter to the computer
1. Dock the dosimeter on the EdgeDock1 (or 5) and turn on the
dosimeter by pressing the on/off enter button.
✍
NOTE: See charging your dosimeter, on page 14.
2. Plug the USB cable into the computer. (See “A” in Figure 3-4).
3. Plug the opposite end into the docking station (See “B” and “C”).
✍
NOTE: The docking station will be powered through the
computer; thus, you do not need to plug in the charger adapter. If
you wish to charge the dosimeter, plug in the charger adapter.
