(When NOT operated as part of an SMPS system)

What you get for your 2600USD during service.
Manual
Power: 120 or 240 VAC 50/60Hz, interchangeable using pull-out fuse block on rear. Standard IEC cable.
Communications: 9600/7/E/1, 9-pin Dsub.
Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

(When NOT operated as part of an SMPS system)

FILTER UPSTREAM!
Manual
Serial comms manual
Power: 7.5 +/- 1.5 VDC. Can also be supplied through comms cable, see TSI manual.
Communications: 38400/8/N/1, mini-DIN connector to 9-pin D-sub.
- - Picture showing mini-DIN connector and corresponding pin#s on the 9-pin Dsub serial port.
  - Picture showing colours of the TSI cable and their corresponding serial pinouts.
Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

Grimm likes to call it a "spectrometer".
dp channels are 0.25 / 0.28 / 0.3 / 0.35 / 0.4 / 0.45 / 0.5 / 0.58 / 0.65 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 1 / 1.3 / 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4 / 5 / 6.5 / 7.5 / 8.5 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 17.5 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 32 µm.

Intercomparison reference example
Power: 18 VDC.
Communications: 9600/8/N/1, 9-pin Dsub via NULL MODEM CABLE.
Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

Manual
Serial comms manual
Power: 6 VDC, 300 mA.
Communications: 1200/8/N/1, ethernet-style RJ-45 plug to 9-pin Dsub serial cable (TSI p/n 800563).
Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

Power: 120 VAC 60Hz via US-standard plug.
Communications: 9600/8/N/1, via on-board PIC
- Xnnnnnnnnnnnn<EOL> switches the 12 channels on the ciruit board, where n = 0 or 1 correspondingly.
- Sending power to the RED cable switches the valve in one direction, sending power to BLUE in the other. Powering BOTH simultaneously results in continuous rotation of the actuator.
Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

Power: 5 VDC via servo board.
Communications: 9600/8/N/1, via modem cable.
- Sending 3-byte array of <255><Servo#><Valve Position> switches each servo in turn.
- Servo# is 1->8 and is the INVERSE OF WHAT IS PRINTED ON THE BOARD
- Valve position is 0->254
Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

This software can also be accessed via ftp client it is stored on the jimenez group server space under 'field_software'

Programs that use NI USB DAC devices may need the mx task updating to match the device connected to the logging PC. See instructions at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9117075591E54E868625745D0053DCCA

You may also need to port the tasks over to a new logging computer, which is explained at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/42A2D212796B3DC2862571FF0061B402

This list of settings&software was edited by MJC on 23rd April 2010 (St. George's Day!).

Things to get rid of
- Language bar
- Desktop picture
- Junk in start menu list
- disable balloon tips

Settings to change
- Windows update: Notify but don't download
- Power: everything "always on"
- Power: NO action on closing lid
- Regional Settings: Short date format to YYYY/MM/DD, time to 24hr HH:MM
