Instrument
Instrument details such as serial number and data logged memory used can be
downloaded from your Fir to your PC.
An instrument upgrade allows you to upgrade your instrument to other
Fir variants with advanced features, once you have purchased
the pass code from Ion Science. A Firmware upgrade allows you to upgrade your actual instrument software
directly, should an upgrade be made available.
'Menu Set-up' allows you to change Fir settings from your PC. These settings can be saved for future use.
Menu Set-up
Adjustable features found on your Fir instrument can also be changed via your PC along with some
additional features. These features can be adjusted and then downloaded to your instrument by selecting APPLY.
Settings
Within this tab there are a number of additional features including the clock (24 hr or 12 hr), sound controls
on signal, confidence (a beep sounds every 15 seconds), on key press and on alarm.
When selected, ‘Enable Bump Test’ sets the instrument to show a gas bottle image once a week when the
instrument is turned on. This acts as a reminder to test the instrument’s response.
‘Memory full alarm’ will ensure an alarm sounds if the Fir data log memory is full. This enables you
to download the data or continue and overwrite previously saved data.
