DustTool
7.1
Overview
DustTool is a complementary software that can be used to control the parameters and features of the
device with a Windows computer. The device can be connected to a computer running DustTool directly
with USB or using RS-485-to-USB converter, Sintrol Router or Wireless Router.
To enable communication using RS-485 protocol, the device must have firmware version
3.0.2 or later, and the host computer must have DustTool version 1.2.1701101750 or
later installed. You can check the firmware version in DustTool on PROPERTIES tab.
If you enable Lock Password feature in DustTool, it is no longer possible to run
Auto Setup or change the device parameters. If you forget the password, you must
contact Sintrol support to unlock the device with a device-specific master password.
You can download DustTool free of charge at https://sintrol.com/product/dusttool/.
DustTool is developed to set up and manage the device parameters and properties. If
you need to save measurement data, create additional alarms, generate reports or
access measurement history, monitoring software DustLog 10 is required.
