CHAPTER 10 PUMP MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
NOTICE!
CASELLA INSIGHT™ DATA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Tuff Pro and Apex Pro personal air sampling pumps can now be programmed
and data downloaded for management purposes via the new Casella Insight™
Data Management Software. Please refer to separate product datasheet and
handbook or contact Casella technical support team for further details.
PUMP MANAGER INTRODUCTION
Casella CEL Pump Manager application software is designed to be used with the
Casella TUFF
TM Pro and Apex Pro models of personal air sampling pumps and offers a
convenient way to store, manage and present sample data.
This software allows the Duration, TWA and User Program Modes of TUFF TM Pro
pumps to be programmed. In addition, it saves sample results together with extra
information related to the sample, and prints comprehensive reports.
Communication between the PC and pump is via a USB infrared transducer. Once the
infrared transducer has been connected to the PC’s there will be no need to connect
(and disconnect) cables between instrument and PC to facilitate communication. This
eliminates wear and tear on any connectors and cables. All infrared communication is
fully error checked to prevent data corruption.
The software must be installed (Section B) and infra-red communication established
(Section C) before data can be downloaded from a TUFF Pump to a PC.
Pump Manager can be left running in the background on the Windows system as an
icon. When a pump comes within range of the infrared computer link, the application
will wake up and download data from the pump and store it in a database. It is possible
to configure Pump Manager to start up in background scanning mode when Windows
starts, thus minimising the amount of user intervention required.(Please note: If any
pump comes in the close proximity to the IR interface, any current run mode will
be terminated).
All data is stored in a database and identified according to the TUFF pump from which
it was downloaded, and optionally by details of the person who used the pump. This
helps to maintain traceability of data. All data is automatically stored when it is
changed, so if you have a system failure (e.g. power failure) you should not lose any
data.
