27 • Data Logging GX-2009 Operator’s Manual
NOTE: The peak readings for each channel are saved until a higher peak
is recorded, the peak readings are reset, or the instrument is
turned off. If a gas is present but the level does not exceed the
previous peak level, the previous peak will be displayed on the
Peak Reading Screen.
Data Logging
The GX-2009 features the ability to log data to its internal memory and
download it to a computer via the infrared communications port on the top
left side. It logs gas readings during normal operation, alarm data,
calibration data, and bump test data.
To utilize the GX-2009’s downloading capability, you will need the GX-2009
Data Logger Management Program and a computer with an infrared port or
a USB port that runs one of the following operating systems: Windows
2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista. If your computer has an infrared
port, then no additional accessories are needed to download data from the
GX-2009. If your computer does not have an infrared port but does have a
USB port, a USB/IrDA adapter cable can be used to download data from
the GX-2003 using the USB port. The GX-2009 Data Logger Management
Program is available from RKI Instruments, Inc. The adapter cable is also
available from RKI or may be purchased at a computer or electronics
supply store.
See the GX-2009 Data Logging Management Program Operator’s Manual
for a complete description of the GX-2009 Data Logging Management
Program and procedures for downloading data to a computer.
GX-2009 User Setup Program
There are some instrument operating parameters that are not accessible in
either Calibration Mode or User Setup Mode such as the calibration
frequency, auto zero function, and the alarm logic (latching or self
resetting). Many of these parameters either do not typically need to be
accessed once the GX-2009 is shipped from the factory or may only need
to be accessed once because of operator preferences. These parameters
can be accessed and updated if necessary using the GX-2009 User Setup
Program, a computer with the same requirements described above in
“Data Logging”, and a USB/IrDA cable if necessary. The GX-2009 User
Setup Program is available from RKI Instruments, Inc. The adapter cable is
also available from RKI or may be purchased at a computer or electronics
supply store. See the GX-2009 User Setup Program Operator’s Manual for
a complete description of the GX-2009 User Setup Program and
procedures for accessing and updating instrument operating parameters.
