10 PC Operation
4 PC Operation
PC control of the PML² is performed using the Remote Device Dialogue included
in the LPA-View software package - refer to the separate LPA-View user manual
for details of software installation.
Users may typically wish to operate the Remote Device Dialogue facility in one of
two ways:-
• Direct Online Operation
The particle counter is permanently connected to a computer whilst tests are
carried out. The operator can set the test parameters, initiate the test, monitor
the progress of each test, and download each test as it is completed.
• Disconnected Operation using Continuous Test Type
The PML² opertates as a stand alone item, performing tests as defined for the
Continuous Test. Occasionally the operator connects a PC and uses LPA-View
to download the accumulated test data.
4.1 Using the Computer Serial Port
This connection is made using the standard computer connecting cable supplied
with the PML².(If the computer has only USB to serial ports, use the USB to serial
converter and follow the instructions on page 12).
Apply power to the PML², make the PC connection and then start LPA-View run-
ning.
To access the Remote Device facility in LPA-View, press the Remote Control button
on the toolbar.
The first time that this is done, the correct communications port (COM port) on the
computer has to be selected, as detailed below.
1. The program scans the computer for available ports, and puts them in a list to choose
from - this list appears in the box. Click on the right hand side of this box and choose
the connection on your computer. Refer to Section below: Determining COM Port.
