CorvusPC
IMPORTANT: These settings will be transmitted and used by all Corvus instruments in that group.
Name
Each Corvus can be given a unique 31 digit alpha numeric name. Typically the name can relate to where the
Corvus is located ie. Laboratory, Office or Corridor etc.
Corvus Names are used in graphical screens and in exported data.
Units
Allows the selection of preferred temperature and pressure units
Data log
Previously logged data will be deleted if a tick/check is entered in the box.
Interval
The interval between data logs can be adjusted.
Sensor pre-conditioning
This feature ensures the PID sensor is ready before logging starts. When selected there may be a delay of
up to 30 minutes before logging begins. The Corvus will start logging immediately if de-selected however low
level PID sensor drift may be seen. For best results Ion Science recommends this feature is selected when
monitoring sub ppm levels.
Network - Set master
A Corvus instrument is made into a Master when a tick/check is entered into the box.
IMPORTANT: There must be only 1 Master Corvus in each group. Multiple groups with different group
names can work in the same area.
Log Duration
CorvusPC calculates how long data can be collected before the internal memory is filled.
This is based on the number if instruments in the group and the frequency of the data being logged.
Write to Device
Settings will only be sent to the Corvus group when this button is pressed.
Group name
Every Corvus must have an alphanumeric group name (1 to 4 digits). Corvus instruments with the same
group name will communicate with each other, Corvus with different group names will not. To change the
group name click the group dialogue box. The default group name is ‘A’.
IMPORTANT: Do not use ‘CAL’ as a group name as this name is used during the calibration routine.
