Conductivity Analog Endpoint
When using the analog output to monitor conductivity, the VERITY® 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor
includes the ability to set the analog output range, which allows adjustment of the output sensitivity.
Use the Set Analog EP command in Gilson Ethernet Utility. By default, the output range is 0–1000 mS/cm
(the full conductivity range of the monitor). The range can be reduced (0–100 mS/cm, for example) to enable
increased sensitivity for lower conductivity samples. The analog output is 0–1000 mV; therefore, by setting
the output range to 0–100 mS/cm, 1000 mV output equals 100 mS/cm, which provides the increase in
sensitivity.
To set the analog output range, use of the Gilson Ethernet Utility and the GEARS Application is required. The
Gilson VERITY 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor GEARS Plugins must be installed.
To set the analog output range:
1. Install the Gilson Ethernet Utility. Refer to its documentation, if necessary.
2. Start the Gilson Ethernet Utility.
a. To start the Gilson Ethernet Utility, click the
Start
button and then select
All Programs > Gilson Applications > Utilities > Gilson Ethernet Utility
.
b. When starting the Gilson Ethernet Utility, the Windows Firewall may block some features of the
program. Click
Allow access
to use the Gilson Ethernet Utility.
3. Check that the Gilson VERITY 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor GEARS Plugins is installed
(
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
). It is installed with TRILUTION® LC v3.0 with Service Pack 6
(or higher) and is required to communicate with the monitor.
4. Start the GEARS Application. The GEARS Application allows the Gilson Ethernet Utility to
communicate with some Gilson USB instruments, and must be running to communicate with the
VERITY® 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor. When running, the GEARS Application appears as an
icon ( ) in the Windows system tray. To start the GEARS Application, do either of the following:
●
Start TRILUTION software.
●
Click the Start button, and then select
All Programs > Gilson Applications > Utilities > GEARS > GEARS Application
.
Wait briefly for GEARS to detect the instrument.
5. In the Gilson Ethernet Utility, select
VERITY 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor
from the list, and then click
Connect
.
6. Select the
Set Analog EP
command.
7. Enter a value for the
Lower
and
Upper
properties to set the range.
8. Click
Go
.
