The Multi-PID 2 will download information stored in its datalogger to a
Windows
®
based computer. This option may be used if you need to
prepare reports based on the Multi-PID 2’s recorded data. This fea-
ture may also be used if you need the recorded data in a format that
can be imported into a spreadsheet or database for further calculati-
ons.
The instructions below will provide you with the basic information for
using the Multi-PID 2 with the communications software Dräger Gas-
Vison. In order to use these instructions, you must be familiar with
Microsoft Windows and the software GasVision must be installed
and running on your computer.
To initiate communications between the Multi-PID 2 and a PC:
1. Turn the Multi-PID 2 off.
2. The Multi-PID 2 must be connected to a serial port. Use the com-
puter cable (Part No. 83 17 667) to connect the Multi-PID 2 to
one of the computer’s serial ports. Remember which serial port
you are using as you will need this information when you set up the
Dräger GasVision software. Normally you will use Com1 or Com2.
3. If the Multi-PID 2 printer cable plugs directly into the port on the
computer without the gender changer or the 9 to 25-pin adapter,
you are most probably connected to a parallel port. You will need
at least one of the adapter cables to connect the Multi-PID 2 to a
serial port. Once all connections have been made, turn on the
Multi-PID 2 instrument.
4. Start the Dräger GasVision software as you would any Windows
®
program. The Dräger GasVision splash screen will appear on the
PC. Once the Dräger GasVision software is running, the PC is rea-
dy to receive data from the Multi-PID 2.
5. On the Multi-PID 2, the number of data bits has been fixed at 8,
stop bits has been fixed at 1. Parity has been set at None and the
Flow control is Xon/Xoff. These values are set automatically by the
Dräger GasVision software.
NOTE:
The Multi-PID 2 is not classified for use in hazardous locations
when connected to any computer.
NOTE:
You must turn the instrument off before connecting or discon-
necting the computer cable.
