of Instrument Information. 5. Click the Set button to display the Set window.
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 Eagle 2 Data Logger Management 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 Eagle 2 Data Logger Management 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. 1. To create a csv file for editing, click the “Export csv file” button located to the right of the Station ID list or the User ID list.
2. Navigate to the location you would like to save the csv file, type in a file name, and click Save.
3. 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 70: Station csv File Any existing Station or User IDs will be displayed. Undefined Station or User IDs will appear as dashes.
2. In the Station and User tab, click “Import csv file” for either the Station ID or User ID and select a csv file.
3. Select the file you want to import and click Open. Figure 72: Station csv File Save As 4. Once the Station ID and/or User ID lists have been imported, click OK to save changes and return to the Set window. If you do not want to save the changes, click Cancel. 5.

7. Click Yes in the confirmation window that appears. Figure 73: Update Confirmation Window 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.
There are 8 columns in both the Pre-Defined Table tab and the User-Defined Table tab: • No This column represents the gas number. The gas numbers are 1-30. • Name This is what will appear in the Relative Response list of gases. The name can be up to 3 characters long and the characters must be upper case letters or numbers. No special characters may be used in the Name column. • Long Name The Long Name column is used to better describe the target gas. It may contain any character in upper- or lower-case.
NOTE: If you define a gas whose LEL is above 50,000 ppm, the %LEL reading in Measuring Mode will reflect the defined ppm ratio, but the ppm reading in Measuring Mode will not indicate above 50,000 ppm.
While the pre-defined gases may not be edited, the 5 userdefined gases may be edited by doing the following: 1. With the Data Logger Management Program running, click the Set button to display the Set window. Click the Detail Settings button to display the Detail Settings window. Click on the Conversion Table tab and then click on the UserDefined Table tab. Figure 75: User-Defined Table 2.
4. Open the csv file using Notepad, Word, or WordPad. The example below shows a csv file opened in WordPad. The list of gases are associated with the numbers 1-5. Figure 76: CSV File If there were no previously defined gases, the csv file will appear as the following: Figure 77: Blank 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 Data Logger Management Program. The first value is the gas number, the second is the gas name, etc.
7. Return to the Data Logger Management Program with the User-Defined 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.If the program finds anything wrong with the values that were entered, the box containing those values will turn red. Make sure that you have entered valid characters for each field. 11.Click OK to save the changes and return to the Set window.
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 79: 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.
from Table 5 on page 102 or through testing as described in “Obtaining a Relative Response Factor” on page 101. A valid character for the Factor is a value between 0.01 and 25.00. 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 2: High Range PID Factor Full Scale (ppm) Increment 0.25-0.36 1000 1 0.37-0.49 1500 1 0.50-0.61 2000 1 0.62-0.74 2500 1 0.75-0.
