Introduction
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to five gas sensors,
the GX-2012 and Gas Tracer Personal Gas Monitors detect the presence
of combustible gases, oxygen (O
2
), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen
sulfide (H
2
S, GX-2012 only) simultaneously. The compact size and easy-
to-use design make them ideally suited for a wide range of applications as
described in the GX-2012 Operator’s Manual and in the Gas Tracer
Operator’s Manual. Please read the GX-2012 Operator’s Manual or the
Gas Tracer Operator’s Manual first before using the GX-2012 Data Logger
Management Program.
The GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program downloads stored data
in the GX-2012 or Gas Tracer to a Windows-based PC. After the data has
been downloaded, you can view, save, or print it using your computer and
the GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program.
NOTE: The GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program is intended for
use with a GX-2012 or with a Gas Tracer. It is capable of
operating with both types of instruments.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to use and set up the
GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program. You will learn how to:
• install and launch the software
• install the downloading cable (if needed)
• access and store data in a common database
• download data from the GX-2012 or Gas Tracer
• view, print, and save data
• change data logging parameters
• create user and station IDs
• change the appearance of the program screens
• change the color of graphed readings for a particular gas
Before you get started, be sure to review the system requirements in the
