Introduction

Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to five gas sensors,

the GX-2012 and Gas Tracer Personal Gas Monitors detect the presence

of combustible gases, oxygen (O

), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen

sulfide (H

S, GX-2012 only) simultaneously. The compact size and easy-

to-use design make them ideally suited for a wide range of applications as

described in the GX-2012 Operator’s Manual and in the Gas Tracer

Operator’s Manual. Please read the GX-2012 Operator’s Manual or the

Gas Tracer Operator’s Manual first before using the GX-2012 Data Logger

Management Program.

The GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program downloads stored data

in the GX-2012 or Gas Tracer to a Windows-based PC. After the data has

been downloaded, you can view, save, or print it using your computer and

the GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program.

NOTE: The GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program is intended for

use with a GX-2012 or with a Gas Tracer. It is capable of

operating with both types of instruments.

The purpose of this manual is to explain how to use and set up the

GX-2012 Data Logger Management Program. You will learn how to:

• install and launch the software

• install the downloading cable (if needed)

• access and store data in a common database

• download data from the GX-2012 or Gas Tracer

• view, print, and save data

• change data logging parameters

• create user and station IDs

• change the appearance of the program screens

• change the color of graphed readings for a particular gas
