Casella CEL Software for Nomad (User Configuration) - Manual (Page 3)

6. CONFIGURING YOUR SYSTEM
As described in Part 1, before using Online Pro to display data from a
measurement arrangement, the software and monitor systems must be
configured to function together.
The configuration process consists of defining the monitor system
(telling Online Pro it is part of the arrangement) then configuring the monitor
system to deliver the required information.
When both monitor system and Online Pro are supplied together, a
disk (or disks) are supplied which include configuration files and real-time
screen page layouts that match the particular sensors in the arrangement.
This configuration information can be loaded as described in Part 1, Section
2.3. However, when Online Pro is supplied on its own for use with an existing
measurement arrangement, the configuration disk supplied will contain
non-specific configuration files that must be edited to match the
arrangement. Similarly, when additional monitor systems or sensors are
added to an arrangement, the software and monitor systems must be
configured to recognise each other.
Part 2 of this manual explains how to configure an arrangement
when it is not possible to load the configuration from a supplied disk, or when
the disk contains non-specific configuration information (also see Figure 4).
The types of monitor system that can be connected are shown in
Table 1.

Note 3: Global System for Mobile Communications; treat this connection as a modem.
Note 4: An APM (Ambient Particulate Monitor) is a special type of
monitor system that cannot be configured by, nor download its
configuration to Online Pro. Therefore it must be configured
independently using its own APM Software.
Any mismatch in the configuration may result in unpredictable
behaviour of the application.
Note 5: Only Warwick High Power radios (version X7200) are currently supported by this
application. It is recommended that they be purchased from and installed by
