Operating Procedures② Change main unit status● Edit

1. Edit data in the status area as required.

Details indicated for [Serial No.], [Station ID], and [User ID] can be edited provided
they do not exceed 16 characters in length.
[Interval Trend Time] can be changed by selecting from the pull-down list.
Click the [Date/Time Set] button to synchronize the PC time ([PC Date/Time]) with the9000 Series main unit internal clock ([9000Series Date/Time]).
CAUTION: Dates and times cannot be entered directly into the date/time boxes.
CAUTION: Apart from clock setting, changing the status data here alone will not
update the same data in the 9000 Series main unit. Be sure to click[Update] to update (send) the changes to the main unit.
[BLE auto shutoff when idle]: Displayed only when the BLE function is enabled.
Connection processing is disabled when BLE connection is not possible.
[Automatic start after successful bump test]/[Automatic start after successful

③ Change alarm setpoints and adjustment concentrations● Call up edit
screen● Edit alarm
setpoints

1. Right-click the sensor row to be changed to display the edit screen.

[Position] is the number indicated on the 9000 Series main unit. Edit this number to avoid
duplicating sensors.
The alarm type (H-HH, L-LL, L-H) can be changed.
The [LO]/[HI] selection is displayed if the sensor has a double range.

If the magnitude relationship between the warning and alarm setpoint values isinappropriate for the [LO]/[HI] or alarm type selection, the values are displayed with a pinkbackground and the [OK] button is disabled.

● Edit adjustment
concentrations

Edit the values on the [Calibration] tab.

The [Span Lo] area is displayed only for sensors that allow double-range adjustment.

● Update
notification

1. Click the [Update] button after making changes.

Click the [Yes] button to send the changes to the 9000 Series main unit to be stored.
Click the [No] button to cancel update notification.

Data Maintenance

Data Maintenance

4. Data Maintenance
Depending on how the program is used—for example, if data is read in several times a day—this may
increase both data volumes and data management burdens. Unforeseen problems with the PC may also
lead to loss of valuable data.
We recommend backing up data periodically to protect against such data management problems.

4-1. Data storage structure
Data is contained within the installed 9000Series program folder.
1) File name: 9000Series.mdb
File type:
Microsoft JET 3.6 database file2) File name: Data
File type:
Individual event data files (within each year and month folder)

4-2. Backing up
Although it depends on the usage pattern, we recommend copying data to a separate hard disk drive or
external auxiliary storage device (for example, CD-R).
When restoring data, copy the data to the location at which the 9000Series executable file is saved. This willallow data to be searched and viewed when the program is started.

Usage Precautions

Usage Precautions

5. Usage Precautions
Note the following precautions when using this program:① Connect the USB cable correctly for receiving data.
② Avoid using similar functions on other applications at the same time when data is being received.
③ Do not forcibly shut down this program. (For example, using the Ctrl + Alt + Del operation) The program
shutdown processing saves configuration parameters for the next time the program starts. Force-quitting
the program may cause problems the next time the program starts.
④ Do not directly modify or overwrite data files.
