6.5. Removing an Instrument Docking Station
You can remove an IDS from the DSSAC. However, the next time that the IDS is connected to
the network, the Docking Station Server detects it and adds it back into the list of IDSs in the
DSSAC.
You may need to remove an IDS if it is no longer in use or it is being moved to another Docking
Station Network.
To remove an IDS, follow the instructions listed below.
Step Instruction
1.
Launch the DSSAC application.
2.
Click the Docking Stations option in the navigation pane.
3.
Select the IDS that you wish to remove. You can select multiple IDSs by pressing
the CTRL key on your keyboard while clicking on each IDS.
4.
Click on the File menu and select Remove.
Alternative:
You can also right click on the selected IDS(s) and select Remove from
the drop-down menu.
5.
A confirmation prompt appears. Click Yes to remove the IDS(s). Click No to cancel
the removal.
6.6. Configuring Gas Cylinders
In order to perform calibrations and bump tests using DS2 Docking Station, the IDS
Gas In
connections must be configured to use gas cylinders. Configuring gas cylinders involves two
steps: (1) setting up the physical hardware, i.e., the IDS and cylinders, and (2) configuring the
Gas In connection in the DSSAC.
Each IDS has three
Gas In
connections that are used to connect to gas cylinders. One of these
Gas In connections should be configured to use fresh air or a Zero Air gas cylinder that is used to
purge the gas lines between calibrations or bump tests using different types of gases. A Zero Air
gas cylinder should always be used if there is a potential for interference from background gases,
or if the atmosphere is dirty.
DS2 Docking Station requires that a demand flow regulator be used on calibration gas cylinders
that are connected to an IDS.
NOTE:
You can increase the number of gases available for calibration by clustering your IDSs.
See Chapter 8 for more information about clustering IDSs.
NOTE:
If you are using iGas, you do not need to follow the instructions below. Please refer to
section 6.11 Using iGas.
