Overview of the SDM-E2 Docking Station PC
Controller Program
This section provides a brief overview of the program and a description of the main
program window. Instructions for using the program 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 program, make sure to perform the program setup as
described in “Setting Up the PC Controller Program” on page 30.
The PC Controller Program is designed to provide manual or automated data
downloading, bump testing, and calibration of the EAGLE 2. It also provides the
capability to update instrument parameters such as alarm points. The program
compiles a database of the instruments that have been connected to the program
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 EAGLE 2 is a gas monitoring device for combustible gas, O

, H

S, CO, and toxic
gases. It stores logged data and calibration information in its internal memory. See
the EAGLE 2 Operator’s Manual for a complete description of the EAGLE 2.
