Configuration Text
The PipeIQ application facilitates creation of a configuration text file for each
FAAST device in the project. The configuration file is saved with a .txt extension.
To create the configuration file, select the Configuration tab, from the left
pane, right-click on the FAAST device and select Create Configuration Text or
from the main menu bar, select Tool > Create Configuration Text. A message
appears indicating that the file has been created.
Send Configuration
Send Configuration downloads the saved configuration from the PipeIQ ap-
plication to the FAAST detector. Before downloading the configuration infor-
mation, ensure that the correct FAAST device is connected to the computer.
To download configuration information, select the Configuration tab. From the
left pane, right-click on the FAAST device, then choose Send Configuration, or
from the menu bar select Tool > Send Configuration. Then select OK.
Get remote Configuration
Get Remote Configuration uploads a saved configuration from the FAAST de-
tector to the PipeIQ application. Before uploading configuration information,
make sure that the FAAST device is connected to the computer.
To upload configuration information from the FAAST detector, select the Con-
figuration tab from the left pane, right-click on the detector and choose Get
Remote Configuration. Alternatively, from the menu bar choose Tools > Get
Remote Configuration.
Device information
Additional information can be recorded using the Device Notes feature. By
providing this information, administrators may help other users to understand
the configuration of the FAAST system.
To edit device notes, select the Configuration tab. In the left pane, right-click on
the detector and choose Device Information. An alternative way to access this
window is to choose Tool > Device Information from the main menu bar. Select-
ing either item opens the Device Notes window, as shown in Figure 12.

Live Event information generated by the FAAST devices in a project can be
archived to the project database file.
To archive event data, select the Configuration tab, select a detector. From the
menu bar at the top of the window choose Settings > Archive Events Data.
DeSiGninG A pipe lAYouT
In order to safely deploy a FAAST system, a proper air sampling pipe network
is needed. The PipeIQ software complements the design process by providing
the tools necessary not only to visualize a potential network but also model its
performance. To begin the design process, highlight a FAAST detector in the
left pane and select the Pipe Design tab. This opens the Pipe Design window
in the right pane, as shown in Figure 13.

To effectively and efficiently layout a design, the designer must have knowl-
edge of the local codes and standards for the site, in addition to pipe network
design fundamentals. Knowledge of drafting tools such as AutoCAD® software
and DXF files is helpful when working with architectural drawings.
The following section describes the different tools used to manually design a
pipe network. It also explains other options that help the designer speed up
the design process. Table 16 shows the different buttons on the toolbar and an
explanation of their usage.
