Abstract
We are delighted that you have decided to use KIMOTO's analyzers. TSGraph is a software that graphs data of
KIMOTO's products (analyzers and data loggers) on PC screen. Also, the data can be stored in PC with a interval
more than 1 second. Ethernet-HUB supporting 10/100 BASE-T should be necessary to communicate between
KIMOTO's analyzers and PCs. Microsoft(R) Windows-based PC (7, Vista., XP) is needed to use the TSGraph.
This manual briefly describes the settings for Ethernet communication. If you have trouble in the Ethernet
communication, please ask the people managing the network or ask people who knows better the Ethernet settings.

1. INSTALLATION
Start the installation process using install program "TSGraph2.exe". You can download the installer from ourwebsite. (see Sec.5.3.)
Wizard window appears when you run the install program. Install the TSGraph following the instructions on thescreen.
After the installation finishes, you will find the icon of the TSGraph on the desktop. Also, the TSGraph can bestarted from "Start" button -> "Programs" -> "Kimoto Utils" -> "TSGraph" as below.

*) How to start two or more TSGraphs
You can use ten TSGraphs simultaneously on a single PC.
The Ethernet port number can be manually set by using "/port" argument.
You can use the port from No. 2000 to No. 2009.
Refer to the shortcut "TSGraph(2001)" registered in the start menu as an example.

2. NETWORK CONNECTION
All KIMOTO's analyzers uses the Ethernet for the communication with PCs. You can easily download the data toyour PC via Ethernet. It may need some networking knowledge and administrative privileges of Windows in order
to setup the software. If you have any trouble to setup, please ask a network administrator or people managing thenetwork.

2.1

Ethernet setting of PC

It is necessary to setup Ethernet connection of your PC before data communication. All our analyzers

manufactured after December 2005 have dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) that assigns IP addresses
automatically. For other analyzers manufactured before December 2005, it is needed to manually setup the IP
address and subnet mask.
For example (manual setting);
IP address: 192. 168. 0. 10
Subnet mask: 255. 255. 255. 0

2.2

Connection between KIMOTO's analyzer and PC

There are two ways for communication between our analyzers and PCs. One is one-to-one communication using across-cable. Another is multiaccess communications using the Ethernet HUB.

2.2.1

Connection using a cross cable

The following figure shows a connection using a crossover Ethernet cable. Sometimes the connection cannot beestablished because of specification of the PC. In that case, it is recommended to use HUB as shown in section 2.2.2.
