Control Buttons There are 5 control buttons on the main screen: Get Current EAGLE 2 Data, Select Distributed File, Transmit New Data, Power OFF, and Exit. These buttons are used for communication between the Eagle 2 and the Eagle 2 Maintenance Data Loader Program.
3. Click Get Current EAGLE 2 Data to retrieve the instrument’s user and station ID, catalytic combustible user defined gases, and PID user defined gas parameter configuration. The program indicates that it is downloading information from the instrument. Figure 7: Instrument Information Downloading 4.
Transmit New Data After information has been updated in the parameter tabs, this button is used to upload that data to the Eagle 2. NOTE: The Transmit New Data button transfers data from all tabs at once. To prevent the transmitting of empty parameter fields, it is advisable that you download data from the instrument before pressing the Transmit New Data button. Power OFF This button is used to turn off the Eagle 2 after all desired updates have been made.
Station & User Tab The Station & User tab displays a list of Station IDs and User IDs. The first time the Eagle 2 is connected to the Maintenance Data Loader Program, this list will be blank. No Station IDs or User IDs are loaded into the Eagle 2 at the factory. These are user-defined parameters that may only be configured using the Maintenance Data Loader Program. Up to 128 Station IDs and up to 32 User IDs may be defined.
CSV Files To edit the Station ID or User ID list, you will need to import a csv (comma separated values) file into the program. A Station csv file and a User csv file are provided with the program. In addition, you can generate csv files for editing from the program. To access them, you must press the “Export csv file” button for the Station and User IDs in the Station and User tab.
The csv files can be opened, edited, and saved using a word processing program such as Word, WordPad, or Notepad. The Station and User csv files consist of the Station or User ID number and its associated name. Below is an example of a Station csv file opened in WordPad. Figure 10: Station csv File Any existing Station or User IDs will be displayed. Undefined Station or User IDs will appear as dashes.
4. Open the saved files in Word, WordPad, or Notepad, enter new Station or User IDs, and save the files. 5. In the Station and User tab, press “Import csv file” for both the Station ID and User ID and select the respective newly edited csv file for each. Press to import User csv file Press to import Station csv file Figure 11: Import csv File 6. Once the Station ID and User ID lists have been generated, select the Station or User ID that will be loaded in the Eagle 2 as the current one by clicking on it.
Conversion Table Tab The Conversion Table tab is used to view the pre-defined relative response gases for the catalytic combustible channel and to edit or add user-defined gases. The pre-defined gases can be found in the Pre-Defined Table tab while the user-defined gases can be found under the User-Defined Table tab. Figure 12: Conversion Table There are 8 columns in both the Pre-Defined Table tab and the UserDefined Table tab: • No This column represents the gas number. The gas numbers are 1-30.
may contain any character in upper- or lower-case. • Factor This value is the response factor for the listed gas relative to methane. The factor for each pre-defined gas is factory defined. The factor for any user-defined gases must be obtained through testing as described in “Obtaining a Relative Response Factor” on page 28. Even if not all of the user-defined catalytic combustible channels are being defined, the Factor column must have a valid number entered.
• Volt This value determines the sensor voltage for the catalytic combustible sensor. It can be set to 1.3 or 2.4. When set to 1.3, the sensor is in methane elimination mode. When set to 2.4, the sensor is reading at full response. Even if not all of the user-defined catalytic combustible channels are being defined, the Volt column must have a valid number entered. A valid number for the Volt column is either 1.3 or 2.4.

Return to the Maintenance Data Loader Program with the UserDefined Table tab still up and press “Import csv file”. 8. Choose the file you just edited and press “Open”. 9. The values you entered in the csv file will appear in the UserDefined Table. 10.
PID Sensor Tab The PID Sensor tab is used to view the pre-defined relative response gases and to view or define the 1 user-defined relative response gas. Every gas has a low and high range which are displayed in the Low Range tab and High Range tab, respectively. Figure 16: PID Sensor There are 13 columns in both the High and Low Range tabs: • No This column represents the gas number. They are numbered 1-17. • Name This is what will appear in the Relative Response list of gases.
• Full Scale This is the full scale value for the target gas. • Point The point value indicates to what decimal place the gas readings are shown. A value of 1/1 indicates a reading to the “ones” place while a value of 1/100 indicates a reading to the “hundredths” place. • Unit The unit describes what units the gas reading is provided in. All units are in ppm.
There are limitations for the full scale and increment values that depend on the factor for both the high range and the low range. Table 2 and Table 3 below list these limitations. Table 1: High Range PID Factor Full Scale (ppm) Increment 0.25-0.49 500 0.2 0.50-0.74 1000 1 0.75-0.99 1500 1 1.00-1.24 2000 1 1.25-1.49 2500 1 1.50-1.99 3000 2 2.00-2.49 4000 2 2.50-4.99 5000 2 5.00-7.49 10000 10 7.50-9.99 15000 10 10.00-14.49 20000 10 15.00-24.49 30000 20 25.

With Maintenance Data Loader Program running, click on the PID Sensor tab and then click on the High Range tab.
NOTE: Make sure you have downloaded the data from the EAGLE 2 to avoid erasing its data when updating the instrument using the Transmit New Data button. 2. If no user-defined PID gas has been previously defined for the connected instrument, the name and long name will both appear as PID for the High Range and Low Range tabs. The full scale, digit, and factor values will appear as shown in Table 4 below. The rest of the fields will contain asterisks (*****).
4. Open the csv file using Notepad, Word, or WordPad. The example below shows a csv file opened in WordPad. The user defined PID gas is number 17. Figure 19: CSV File 5. The values in the csv file are all separated by commas. These values are in the same order as the columns in the Maintenance Data Loader Program. The first value is the gas number, the second is the gas name, etc. 6. Edit the values you wish to change and save the file. 7.
correct, transmit the new data to the connected instrument by pressing “Transmit New Data”. Obtaining a Relative Response Factor If the gas that you want to monitor on the catalytic combustible or PID channel is not included in the catalytic or PID relative reasponse lists, you may define up to 5 gases for the catalytic combustible channel using the Conversion Table tab and 1 gas for the PID channel using the PID Sensor tab.
