6 Capture Data with an Automatic Test
6.1 Before performing the automatic test
The following videos demonstrate how to run an Automatic Test (using a DM-2 gauge and an early
version of the software, but the concepts and explanations still apply).
Before performing an automatic test, ensure:
the panels, fans and gauges are be set up properly.
Prior to the test, it is recommended to manually attempt to achieve the minimum and maximum
pressures required for your automatic test, to ensure that your fan is on a test-suitable range.
Ensure that your gauge is displaying the correct device and correct range configuration. Adjust
Mode to display the maximum and minimum flows. If TOO LOW appears, you must change to a
lower range and try again since this will cause the test to pause (review quick guide for your
system and see section 5.11.4). Make sure both the building pressures and flows can be
achieved for the range of pressures required for your test before starting Auto-Test.
For the automatic test with DM-2 gauge you'll need:
A computer with a High Speed USB2.0 port
A cable to connect the USB on your computer to the mini USB on your DM-2A
A speed control Ethernet style cable to connect your DM-2 to a Retrotec fan
The Retrotec DM2DeviceDriver for USB2.0 High Speed and FanTestic installed
For the automatic test with DM32 gauge you'll need:
