PC Software
Overview
The TVA-1000 on-board datalogger can communicate with a PC using several methods:
♦ A fugitive emissions software package designed to operate with the TVA-1000
(such as F.E.M.S.)
♦ A communications software package capable of text transfer of ASCII files
♦ The TVA-1000 PC Software supplied with your unit
This chapter is devoted to discussing the TVA-1000 PC Software. For more information
about the operation of other packages, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the software.
For more information about uploading and downloading information to and from the
TVA-1000, refer to the PCLink section of “Display Menus” in MI 611-185.
NOTE: The TVA-1000 PC Software is not designed to accept data generated using
multipoint calibration curves. If you are using more than one span point for calibration
of your TVA, you many not use the TVA-1000 PC Software to download data.
Instead, use the PCIP software (see MI 611-186) or another communications software
package and the text transfer method (or your fugitive emissions software package
if it is designed to operate with the TVA-1000).
TVA-1000 PC software is a direct support tool to the TVA-1000. It is uniquely configured to
match the data format of the TVA-1000 and is not applicable to any other instrumentation.
The purpose of the software is to provide you with a complete set of tools to display, analyze,
and print reports from the information collected by the TVA-1000. It also provides a mechanism
for remote configuration of the TVA-1000 instrument. The user interface is designed so
that all functions can be implemented quickly with a minimum number of key strokes and
operations.
The software provides two means of invoking a function. The first is to use the keyboard cursor
keys or space bar to point to a desired function and then press ENTER to invoke the function.
An alternative, which gives a direct and faster response, is to type the highlighted letter
of the particular function. This has the same effect as pointing with the cursor and pressing
ENTER, but requires fewer keystrokes.
Running the TVA-1000 PC Program
Before attempting to run the TVA-1000 PC program for the first time, please refer to the following
