26 Current Pressure – Cells in this row display the current pressure within the bottle relative to the
Reference Module Zero pressure and represents the most recent pressure reading reported during the last
Live Interval. A LIGHT BLUE cell indicates that the Current Pressure is above the Pressure Release
threshold.
27 Cumulative Pressure – Cells in this row display the sum of the incremental changes in pressure for the
specific Module recorded throughout the entire study. This pressure is NOT positively or negatively
affected by valve releases that are initiated by the software based on the
Pressure Release value that you
entered. This pressure is affected by opening and closing individual valves using the Valve Open feature
in the Live View, or by opening and closing all valves at once using the Open Valves and Close Valves
buttons in the Configuration View.
28 Temperature – Cells in this row display the value reported by the temperature sensor in the specific
Module.
Since the GPM software cannot determine if a temperature sensor is present or
failing, the user should look at each
Temperature cell on the GPM screen
before and during a study to make sure that the readings make sense.
29 Battery Voltage – Cells in this row display the current battery voltage for the specific Module. The cell
is GREEN when the voltage is 6.3 volts or higher, YELLOW when the voltage is greater than 6.0 and
less than 6.3 volts, and RED
when the voltage is 6.0 volts or lower.
Although a Module will function at 6.0 volts, it may not have enough power to
consistently operate the valve. Therefore, before starting a study, ensure that
your rechargeable batteries are fully charged to 6.7 volts or higher.
A battery pack can be replaced during a study without loss of functionality.
There could be some missing data points during the period when the battery was
being replaced. However, data captured before and after the battery pack
replacement will remain.
30 Show Graph Line – Clicking a cell within this row puts a check mark in the box () for that specific
Module. Clicking the cell again removes the check mark (). The Auto Graphing capability will only
display a graph for a Module that has a check mark () in its cell within this row.
