9 Sintrol DustTool Software
Sintrol Dumo is equipped with USB and RS485 interfaces for connecting to DustTool. Both interfaces are
preconfigured to use Sintrol Network protocol from firmware version 3.0.2 onwards.
Connect a USB cable directly to a Windows PC or alternatively, use a generic USB-to-RS485 converter and
connect to the device's RS485 bus.
DustTool will automatically detect the interface being used and connect to the device.
DustTool is complementary software to help you to easily control the parameters and features of your Sintrol
products. The hardware requirements to run the software are:
•
Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 10
•
Screen resolution: 1024x768 pixels or higher
•
Memory: at least 512 MB
The DustTool software can be connected directly to the dust measurement devices via USB. By using a
converter, connections over RS 485 and RF are also supported.
If the lock password feature is used, auto setup is disabled and changing any device
parameters will not be allowed.
If the lock password is forgotten, there is no way to unlock the device without contacting
Sintrol for the device-specific master password.
When DustTool software opens, it first looks for USB-connected Sintrol products. If any are connected, they
will appear within the software and can then be directly managed.
A DustTool version of 1.2.1701101750 or later is required for the RS485 communication to
be available. You can download the latest version at
https://secure.sintrol.com/?getupdates=DustTool*
firmware of 3.0.2 or later for the RS485-to-DustTool communication to be enabled.
In order to save measurement data, create additional signals and alarms and/or generate reports and history,
DustLog 8 software is required.
Changes in the parameter settings, done by DustTool will overwrite the settings done by the
local button interface and vice versa, whatever comes last.
