About the SDM-2009
The SDM-2009 Docking Station is an advanced, reliable system that provides
charging, calibration, bump testing, and calibration and bump test records for the
GX-2009 portable gas monitor. It is designed to save the calibration and bump test
records to a USB flash drive (standalone functionality) or to be connected directly to a
computer (PC controlled functionality). If calibration and bump test records are stored
to a USB flash drive while operating in the standalone configuration, the Single
Module Data Viewer Program can then be used with a Windows-based personal
computer to retrieve calibration and bump test data files from the USB flash drive or
from the computer’s hard drive if the files have been transferred to the hard drive from
the flash drive. If you are using the PC Controller Program while operating in the PC
controlled configuration, you may retrieve instrument data, bump test, and calibrate
up to 10 instruments at once. Instrument information and data for each instrument
can be viewed directly using the PC Controller Program and can be printed from the
PC Controller Program. For instructions to use the SDM-2009 with the PC Controller
Program, see the SDM-2009 Docking Station PC Controlled Configuration Operator’s
Manual.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SDM-2009 in

• install and launch the Single Module Data Viewer Program
• prepare the SDM-2009 for use
• perform a bump test
• perform a calibration
• save calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive
• view, print, and export calibration and bump test records
