InfoStation External Monitoring Utility (InfoMon)

The InfoStation is an external monitoring utility that runs under the Windows

®

O/S. This free

utility (and its accompanying User's Guide) is available for download at the StorCase website

(http://www.storcase.com).

The primary purpose of this utility is to continuously monitor the environmental status and

indicate alarm conditions inside the InfoStation chassis via a serial connection. This utility

functions much like the User Interface Module, only more user-friendly!

The utility will sound the PC speakers in the event of alarms, and allows the User to set the

clock time on the User's Interface Module. This clock is used by the modules to provide

timestamping when logging errors.

To install and operate the InfoMon software, the computer system must meet the following

requirements:

Operating System
