This chapter provides an overview of the software system used to operate the OX-TRAN Model 2/12.
Detailed information on how to use the instrument software can be found in the Instrument Help System.

Accessing the Screens and Functions in the Instrument Software
•
The instrument software is used to control and monitor all instrument functions and test activity. The only
activities that require operator intervention are loading/unloading the test cells, filling the humidifier
reservoirs, setting the initial test conditions and starting tests.
Many of the test conditions can be set automatically when the "Auto Test" function is used to start a test.
The operator has full control of all test parameters when the "Advanced Test" function is used. As the test
progresses data is collected and logged.
The resulting data is made available in tables and charts. The information (displays and reports) is available
in both tabular and graphical formats. A Diagnostic interface is included for instrument maintenance and
calibration.
