2.2. LISST-Infinite Monitor Software
Installing
LISST-Infinite
Monitor
Software A LISST-Infinite software CD is provided with each LISST-Infinite. This
CD contains the software necessary to operate the LISST-Infinite. An
install program is included on the CD that will extract the files into the
proper locations. To start the install process, run the SetupInfinite.EXE
program on the CD. You will be prompted to select a location to install
the program. The default folder is C:\Program Files\Sequoia\LISST-
Infinite or C:\Program Files (x386)\Sequoia\LISST-Infinite.
Other folders may also be selected. However, it is recommended that
the default folder be selected. After extracting the files the LISST-
Infinite software can be started from the Start menu.
The LISST-Infinite Monitor Software can be operated in one of three
modes:

Master Controller Mode (Section 2.2.1)

Monitor Mode (Section 2.2.2)

Archive Viewer Mode (Section 2.2.3)
Master
Controller Mode THE MASTER CONTROLLER MODE IS THE ONLY TRIGGER FOR
DATA COLLECTION
for the LISST-Infinite Monitor Software.
No data will be stored if this mode is not running on the computer
connected to the LISST-Infinite or the LISST-HYDRO. The Master
Controller mode can only be used on a computer that is physically
connected to a LISST-Infinite or to a LISST-HYDRO via its serial port.
When running in the Master Controller mode the software will trigger
the LISST-Infinite or LISST-HYDRO to collect a sample and transmit
the raw data across the serial port. The raw data is read by the
software and processed into detailed size distributions.
The LISST-Infinite Monitor, Master Controller Mode should ONLY
be used if no more than one instrument is connected to the
monitoring PC.
Monitor Mode The Monitor mode allows other computers to view the current and
previous samples collected by the Master Controller. When the Master
Controller receives raw data from the LISST-Infinite it processes it and
displays it. It will also save the values to a shared directory. Other
users can run the LISST-Infinite software and access this saved data
and view it on a display that very similar to the Master Controller
display including warning alarms. When new data is received the
Monitor screen will be updated.
Archive Mode
At the beginning of each month the data for that month will be saved to
