IonPC Software Features
__________
Connecting P with a PC
Switch on your P instrument, enter the function menu and select the Data Transfer symbol by pressin
g
the enter key. When communicating with a computer the P displays a '
ü
' within the data transfer
symbol. When not communicating an 'X' will appear.
Place the P on its side with the instruments infrared window approximately 40 mm from the PC
IRDA, then start the P software.
Starting P Software
Start the IonPC software either from your desktop via the shortcut or from the Start menu/Programs/Ion PC.
The instrument has 8Mb of memory, which is divided into 1Mb segments. When a segment becomes full,
data is then stored in the next segment.
Each time the user starts data logging, a new file is created. So, for example, six data logging sessions will
create six data files.
When a data logging session records data which spans across two or more 1Mb segments, a corresponding
number of files will be created and stored within the instrument and will apply to that particular data logging
session only. So, for example, two 1Mb segments spanned will result in two files created.
When the data is to be downloaded via the IonPC software, any files that have spanned two or more 1Mb
segments (i.e. two or more files) will be recognised and downloaded as a single file.
