NOTE:

In the examples that follow, the data will be shown organized by
serial number. If you do not select any of the organization boxes
or select the Station ID or User ID boxes instead of or in addition
to the Serial No. box, your Data Window will look slightly different.
The following examples also show the combustible channel as
“CH4”. The combustible channel may also be “HC”. See the
GX-2012 Operator’s Manual or Gas Tracer Operator’s Manual for
details.

The upper right frame shows the contents of a data folder that is selected in
the Data Frame. The lower right frame shows the summary information for
a data file that is selected in the upper right frame.

The View Data control button is located at the bottom of the lower right
frame. The View Data button becomes active when a data file is selected
in the upper right frame. Clicking View Data opens the data file and
displays the data.

NOTE:

If data is being viewed and the data folders are left open before
instrument downloading is done, close all folders after
downloading and re-open them to be able to view newly
downloaded files.

Bump Test Data

The instrument is capable of saving information for up to 124 of the most
recent bump tests and calibrations combined. This bump test history is
retrieved by the Data Logger Management Program when data is
downloaded from the instrument using either the Complete Download
download command or the Download Logger Data download command.

Instrument bump test information is also available in the Last Calibration
Window. The information regarding the most recent successful calibration
and bump test for each downloaded instrument along with whether or not
an instrument is due for calibration or bump testing can be accessed using
the Last Calibration button on the right side of the program window. See
“Last Calibration Window” on page 64 for a complete description of the
information that can be accessed by the Last Calibration button.

All downloaded bump test data for all downloaded instruments is available
in the Bump Test folders in the Data Window. This information is saved in a
Bump Test Folder that is located in an untitled folder for each instrument.
The bump test files are differentiated by instrument. The bump test
information available here is more comprehensive than that in the Last
Calibration Window. The bump test information for all bump tests
downloaded, whether successful or not, is saved instead of just the most
recent successful bump test for each instrument.

To view, print, or export the bump test information for any instrument in the
database:

1. With the program already launched, click the Data control button along
