Software
Main Screen
Battery status – displays battery voltage alongside a power bar, the bar changes colour according to capacity providing a
rough guide to battery life*.
Green: capacity is fine for a long sampling period
Orange: Batteries need to be replaced very soon
Red: Replace batteries immediately.
*The voltage in the battery will decrease when the GasClam is sampling due to a load on the batteries, this is the voltage
that should be used to assess battery condition (This is also the voltage that is logged).
Note. If the battery capacity is no longer sufficient for the running of the unit during a programme the unit automatically
interrupts the cycle and switches to sleeping mode, this will be logged as a battery error. The data is stored in the flash
memory therefore the data will remain in the GasClam even if the batteries are completely flat.
Samples left –displays the remaining number of samples that can be stored in the memory.
Samples taken/count – When the GasClam is in sleeping mode this reads „samples taken‟ indicating how many sampling
points are stored on the memory. When the GasClam is in sampling mode it reads „Sample count‟ and displays the
number of finished cycles and the total number of cycles in the programme. For example, 254/4500 means that 254
cycles from 4500 required cycles have finished.
Sampling every - shows the period between sampling. For example, value “1 hour.” means that sampling frequency is 1
hour.
Finish on – displays the date and time that the sampling programme will finish.
Serial number – displays the serial number of the unit
COM port – displays which port the unit is connected to.
Status – displays the mode of the unit:
When the unit is running a programme the following modes are possible:
Sampling – the GasClam is actively making a measurement.
Measuring – the GasClam is between sampling periods.
When the GasClam is not running a programme the following modes are possible:
Sleeping – the unit is not running a programme. In this mode data can be downloaded and the unit programmed.
Clear flash – the unit is erasing flash memory data
If the GasClam is not functioning correctly the status will read
„undefined status,‟ if this occurs contact customer services
immediately.
