Using the WinPDM Software
This section explains how to install and set up the WinPDM software, and
how to program a sample run for the instrument.
A programmed sample run or "shift" can be set up in advance using the
WinPDM communications software program. One shift-time can be
programmed, and all shifts require a 35-minute warm-up period before
data begins collecting.
The PDM will accommodate programmed shift-lengths from 1 minute to
24 hours. After the PDM unit has completed a sample run (immediate or
programmed), you can download the data collected to a personal computer
(PC) for analysis.
Refer to Chapter 2: Basic Operation for information on starting a primary
sample run using the keys on the TEOM 3600 PDM.
Installing WinPDM
This section explains how to locate and load the WinPDM communication
software onto your personal computer (PC). System requirements for
running WinPDM software include a Pentium processor and 64 megabytes
(MB) of random access memory (RAM) and 40 megabytes (MB) of hard
drive space.
Prior to installing a new version of the WinPDM software, users must first
remove the existing version from their PC. Use the PC's "Control Panel" in
the Start menu, and the "Add/Remove Programs" function to remove older
versions of the WinPDM software.
WinPDM version 7.1 will work with all PDM 3600 instruments. Earlier
versions of WinPDM will not communicate with PDM 3600 firmware
versions 7.1 and higher.
1. Exit all Windows programs currently running on your PC.
To install WinPDM onto a PC:
2. Place the TEOM 3600 PDM software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM
drive.
