Measuring and Viewing
Once you have setup your logging parameters and calibrated the
instrument, you are ready to begin measuring. The focus of this
chapter is to give you a brief overview of what is measured, how to
navigate, what measurements screens will appear, and how to run and
stop your measurements. The chapter concludes with an explanation
of the file system management functionality which is comprised of the
following: reviewing past measurements, deleting files, viewing file
storage and memory, and viewing the estimated run-time.
NOTE: The subsequent sections show examples of views which you may
have disabled on your instrument. (Please refer to Chapter 3, "Setting-up
the EVM" for more details.)
Overview of running a session
The list below is a brief overview of the steps for running a study.
Quick Help List: typical gas/particulate/air quality overview
1. Turn the EVM on and check your battery power. (Chapter 2).
2. Reset/Clear memory. (if necessary).
This will clear out all of the data history before your study begins to
o
ensure you have sufficient memory space.
3. Set-up your study parameters (See Chapter 3).
4. Calibrate each sensor/parameter (See Chapter 4).
5. Place the EVM in a specific location for area monitoring.
6. Press the Run/Stop
7. When you are ready to end your study, press the Run/Stop
stop the study.
8. Review your results either on the instrument or download to QSP-II for
further analysis (graphs/charts, saving and printing).
