  • Page 4: Introduction

    1 INTRODUCTION The pocket susceptibility meter KM-7 is designed for quick field measurements of magnetic susceptibility of outcropping rocks, drill cores and larger pieces of rocks. The use of KM-7 is especially advantageous for selecting of suitable specimens for further precise laboratory studies of magnetic properties.

    2 OPERATION 2.1 Power Supply KM-7 is powered by two batteries (alcaline) or accumulators, type AAA. The battery compartment is located at the bottom part of the instrument, the polarity of batteries is shown at the picture at the back side. 2.2 Turning On/Off Press the Enter button to turn the KM-7 on.

  • Page 6: Items Setting

    To see which item in the KM-7 menu is selected, arrow at the left side of the display is used. The position of the arrow points to the selected menu item. 2.4 Items setting The KM-7 setting items are of two types: items to select one of predefined choices and items to set a numerical value.

    2.6.5.1 Sensor setting The first item of the Setup menu allows to select a sensor (PIN, FLAT, CORE), for editing see the chapter 2.4Chyba! Nenalezen zdroj odkazů.. The value measured with the KM-7 depends on the size and shape of the sample. The instrument KM-7 is calibrated for the idealized case in which the pick-up coil is attached to an absolutely smooth plane confining a half-space filled with magnetically homogeneous and isotropic medium.

    If both the battery and the contacts are in a good condition, and the failure still persists, it is necessary to ship the instrument for repair to the producer: SatisGeo, s.r.o. Jecna 29a 621 00 Brno Czech Republic (info@satisgeo.com)

  • Page 15: The Kmdata Communication Program

    4 THE KMdata COMMUNICATION PROGRAM The KMdata communication program allows data transfer from KM-7 to PC. The transferred data are stored in the internal program database. In the Scan remote mode, KMdata allows direct acquisition of measurements from the KM-7. The data can be accessed, displayed, sorted and exported.
  • Page 16 Figure 4-2 KMdata welcome installation window To continue the installation, click on the Next button. In the next window, installation folder and Windows user account to where KMdata will be installed can be selected. The necessary disk space for installation of the KMdata can be seen by clicking on the Disk Cost button.

  • Page 18 The result of installation is displayed. Figure 4-6 Installation complete The USB drivers are necessary for communication with KM-7 via USB. The drivers are installed by KMdata installation program and can be found as well in the program installation folder. To successfully install the USB drivers, the KM-7 must be connected via USB cable. This action must be done before the first run of the KMdata.

  • Page 20: The Kmdata Description

    5 THE KMdata DESCRIPTION The KMdata program consists of three main windows/tabs and About tab. The Data tab window, see Figure 5-1, is the first window that appears after the program has started. Four tabs are to be found at the top left side of the main window. Data tab provides access to a stored data.

  • Page 21: Data Tab

    5.1 Data tab Data tab window is the main window of the KMdata. It is divided into three main regions: command banner, database browser and data table. The commands are accessible from the command banner or from the context menu in the database tree and the data table. 5.1.1 Command banner The first button starts data transfer from KM-7.

  • Page 22: Database Browser

    5.1.2 Database browser The database browser can be seen on the left side of main window, see Figure 5-1. The database is represented as a tree. The basic folder is root (DataBaseRoot), folders are branches and leafs are data nodes. There are two main folders/branches: Data and Scans Remote. The Data branch contains all transferred data from the KM-7, the Scans Remote branch contains measured data in the Scan Remote mode of the KM-7.

  • Page 23: Data Table

    Figure 5-10 Graph window 5.1.3 Data table The data table can be seen in the center of the main window in Figure 5-1. The purpose of this table is to display selected data from the database browser. There are ten items – collumns in the table: No.

    is not limited and the national characters can be used as well. In the case that more lines in table are selected, one note is added to all selected lines. Figure 5-11 Window to Add/Modify the note The Delete selected items command deletes all selected items. The items can be selected by mouse and combination of Ctrl or Shift buttons.

  • Page 25: Setup-Communication

    5.2.2 Setup-Communication The Setup-Communication tab is not needed when using Microsoft Vista, Microsoft 7 and later operation systems. They should connect the instrument KM-7 to the PC automatically (for most Bluetooth adaptors). For the Microsoft Windows XP and a Bluetooth adaptor that can not use the Microsoft Bluetooth stack, mannual setting is necessary, see Figure 513, Bluetooth VCP port settings.
  • Page 26 In the command banner, a measurement averaging can be set. This averaging is accessible only before measurement is started. The main window is divided into two views. On the left side, the table of a measured data can be seen, and on the right side, the graph of a measured data. Other tabs are disabled until measurement is stopped.

  • Page 27: Bluetooth Connection

    6 BLUETOOTH CONNECTION The Bluetooth connection of the KM-7 kappameter to a PC in the program KMdata is established automatically when using Windows Vista, Windows 7 and higher (Microsoft Bluetooth stack). This feature is available for almost all Bluetooth adaptors. In the Windows XP, only few Bluetooth adaptors are supported, and the connection must be established manually.

Figure 6-4 Pairing code assign Pairing results appear. Figure 6-5 Pairing results After closing this window, you can begin to communicate with the KM-7 via Bluetooth connection, and the KM-7 will be visible in the list of Bluetooth devices, see Figure 6-6.

  • Page 29: Manual Bluetooth Connection

    Figure 6-6 List of paired device (KM-7 successfully paired) 6.2 Manual Bluetooth connection The approach to pairing and connecting to the KM-7 depends on your Bluetooth adaptor. After successful pairing (the process is similar to pairing with Microsoft Bluetooth stack) you need to find which virtual COM port is assigned to the KM-7 and set it in the KMdata, see chapter 5.2.2.
