User manual EUTECH INSTRUMENTS CYBERCOMM 5000 FOR CYBERSCAN 5000

[. . . ] Data type stored is in the ASCII format. © Windows is the registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation 1. 2 System Requirements To run the CyberComm 5000 Data Acquisition Software, the following items are required: 1 2 3 4 IBM Compatible PC Pentium and above Windows Operating Systems 95 and above VGA/SVGA Monitor with minimum 800 X 600 resolution RS232C Serial Communication Cable 1. 2. 1 Setting the Communication Parameters The meter is capable of different communication configurations for baud rate, parity and stop bits. The values chosen for these parameters of the meter must match those chosen for the computer, same goes for the serial printer if it is connected. 2 2. 1 INSTALLATION OF CYBERCOMM 5000 Loading of CD-ROM See Figure 1. Before running the program, check that the CyberScan Series 5000 meter is properly connected to the computer. It is preferable to connect to either one of the COM (serial) ports available on a computer. [. . . ] Select preferred parity from the drop down menu: None (0), Odd (1) or Even (2). Default is None (0). Baud Rate Number of Bits Stop Bits Parity Serial Output mode Software default is set at DATA. Ensure meter serial output mode is set at DATA. 10 3. 3 Confirmation Prompt This Dialog box appears if from second DAS operation onwards, prompting user to overwrite on saved measurement data or create another in the destinated directory. a) b) c) Click NO to create new measurement data. Go to Section 3. 4: File Options, Page 12. Click YES if you want to overwrite current saved data. Go to Section 3. 5: Data File Information, Page 13. Click Cancel if you do not want data to be saved. Figure 10; Confirmation Prompt 11 3. 4 File Options Clicking NO in Section 3. 3: Confirmation Prompt will bring you to the File Options Screen. Figure 11: File Options This screen prompts user to enter information which will be inserted to the data file for reference at the start of every data capture. Field Operator ID Description Identifies the user for every measurement being conducted. Company Identifies the organisation of the user. Inst S/N The instrument's serial number will be reflected in reports generated. Comments Will be inserted to the data file for reference at the start of every data capture. Save Data to File Assign the DAS to save data in the selected destinated directory. 12 3. 5 Data File Information Clicking YES in Section 3. 3: Confirmation Prompt will bring you to the Data File Information Screen. Figure 12: Data File Information This screen displays the destination folder that eventual data will be saved as . dat format. See Figure 12: Data File Information. Single Channel Mode This screen displays one channel's data to be saved in the destination folder. Dual Channel Mode This screen displays both channels' destination folders respectively. 13 3. 6 Mode Selection See Figure 13: Standby Mode with Parameter Selection. The CyberScan PCD 5500 (as shown below) allows you to select from several parameters (pH and Conductivity mode: pH, mV, Conductivity and Ion) (DO mode selection: DO, BOD, OUR and SOUR). The selection of parameter modes depend on the meter connected: Meter Model pH 5000 pH 5500 PC 5000 PC 5500 DO 5000 PCD 5500 Parameter Modes Available pH, mV pH, mV, Ion pH, mV, Conductivity pH, mV, Conductivity, Ion Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, SOUR, OUR pH, mV, Conductivity, Ion, Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, SOUR, OUR Mode Selection Dual Channel Selection (For CyberScan pH 5500, PC 5500 and PCD 5500 only) Click to close/end DAS operation Figure 13: Standby Mode with Parameter Selection 14 4 METER CONNECTED (SINGLE CHANNEL) For CyberScan pH 5000, PC 5000 and DO 5000 which are single channel instruments, the DAS screen will display a single parameter mode at one time. Select mode (Section 3. 6: Mode Selection, Page 14) and the current reading will be displayed respectively. See Figure 14: pH Measurement Mode- Single Channel. Plot 1 shows Current Mode (pH, mV, conductivity, ion etc. ) measurement graph on Channel 1 and Plot 2 shows Current measurement graph (Temperature).

Figure 16: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Standby Mode Figure 17: BOD Mode 17 From the meter Press BOD button during the BOD measurement mode on the meter. A screen on the meter will prompt to enter a Bottle ID number that was saved previously. BOD Results will be shown as below on the meter. See Figure 25. Figure 25: SOUR Results on CyberComm 5000 23 6 MENU BAR Figure 26: Menu Bar- Same for Single and Dual Channel Meters Menu Button Description To stop current measurement and the DAS will immediately stop the data recording. The button will change to `Start Tracking' when Stop Tracking mode is ON. You are able to toggle between start and stop at any point of the measurement to record data. These two buttons are for optimised view of the measurement graphs. Click on the respective button to execute task.
