Setting up the SDM-6000 for use includes: installing the SDM-PC2 Docking Station
PC Controller Program, connecting multiple SDM-6000s together (optional),
connecting the SV-3 (optional), connecting the printer (optional), assembling the
hardware, wall mounting the station (optional), connecting calibration gas, setting

to the PC Controller Program for Standalone operation, the PC Controller Program is
needed to import and view data and to access some SDM-6000 setup parameters.
