Aquacomm™ Windows Software - Thermo Scientific Scientific AquaSensors DataStick User Manual

3.4.3 AquaComm™ Windows Software
®
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a full-featured Windows based software tool called AquaComm to interface with DataSticks from a PC.
® ™
The program has a logging feature and can run multiple measurements with basic USB, RS-232, RS-485 and Modbus connections.
Load AquaComm on any Windows based computer and open up as many instances of the program as there are sensors connected.
™ ®
The program can be set up with any communications port and will recognize station addresses. The display will automatically provide
the features needed for the sensor currently connected to the DataStick system. Sensors heads can be "hot-swapped" and the display
system will change accordingly.
Shortcut Icon:
The first time the program is launched it will most likely come up with blanks in the screen. Select FILE and the NEW CONNECTION
to connect the program to the DataStick. If there is more than one DataStick connected, set the first one up and then open up another
instance of the program to establish a connection with the next sensor. Once these applications close, the connection configuration
will be saved.
To configure AquaComm™ for use after installing the program, select the FILE menu:
Select NEW CONNECTION or OPEN CONNECTION to set up the port and protocol. When necessary, the station number, baud rate
and parity will also be set. Thermo Scientific AquaSensors communcations adapters are preset for baud rate, parity and station number.
These variables can be changed to match network requirements as described in the programming section of this user guide.
