17. Downloading Datalogs And Performing PC-Based
Instrument Configuration and Firmware Upgrades
The ToxiRAE Pro communicates with a PC running ProRAE Studio II Instrument
Configuration and Data Management software (version 1.03 or higher) to download
datalogs, configure the instrument, or upload new firmware.
The ToxiRAE Pro must be connected to a PC through the supplied Charging / PC
Communications Cradle and must be in the PC communications mode.
1.
Make sure the Charging/PC Communications Cradle has power from its AC
adapter (the LED on the front of the cradle should be illuminated).
2.
Use the supplied PC Communications Cable (USB to mini-USB cable) to connect
the Cradle to a PC.
3.
Turn on the ToxiRAE Pro. Make sure it is running in Normal mode (with the
main measurement screen with its reading showing).
4.
Insert the ToxiRAE Pro in the cradle.
5.
Activate the PC communications mode on the ToxiRAE Pro by pressing [MODE]
repeatedly, starting from the main measurement screen until you reach the “Enter
PC Comm and stop measurement?” screen.
6.
Press [Y/+]. Measurement and datalogging stop, and the instrument is now ready
to communicate with the PC. The display now says “PC comm ready…”
7.
Start up the ProRAE Studio II software, enter a password, and detect the
instrument following the directions provided in the ProRAE Studio II User’s
Manual.
8.
Follow the instructions in the ProRAE Studio II User’s Manual to download the
datalog, configure the instrument settings, or update the ToxiRAE Pro’s firmware.
9.
When you are done, press [MODE] to exit the PC communications mode on the
ToxiRAE Pro. The screen displays “Sensor initializing,” after which the
instrument returns to operating in Normal mode.
