Overview of the Data Cal 2000 Software
This section provides a brief overview of the software and a description
of the main program window. Instructions for using the software are given
in other parts of this manual. Use this section to become familiar with the
main program window, but before attempting to use the software, make
sure to perform the software setup as described in “Setting Up the Data
Cal 2000 Software” on page 27.
The Data Cal Docking Station Software is designed to provide manual or
automated data downloading, bump testing, and calibration for the
GX-2001, GX-2003, and GX-2009. It also provides the capability to
update instrument parameters such as active channels and alarm points.
The software compiles a database of the instruments that have been
connected to the Data Cal 2000 which consists of calibration and bump
test history, logged data (if a unit’s data is downloaded), and memos that
record user entered information about an instrument at a particular time.
The GX-2001, the GX-2003, and the GX-2009 are gas monitoring
devices for combustible gas, O
2
, CO, and H
2
S. They store logged data
and calibration information in their internal memories. See the Operator’s
Manual for each instrument for a complete description of each
instrument.
