2.3.12 PC User Application, OS530 Series

This PC application software communicates with the following products:

OS530E series Infrared Thermometers

OS523E/524E series Infrared Thermometers

This Windows based user application allows you to do the following:

•Monitor and log your temperature in real time.

•Save the temperature data with time stamping to a text file.

•Print the temperature line graph to a printer.

•Display other parameters in real time as explained below.

•Set different parameters such as Emissivity, high & low alarm set points, etc.

•Select your Chart time base (On the PC) from one minute up to one day.

•Select the Upper & Lower values of the Y axis of the temperature graph, or Automatic scale.

•Download the recorded temperature data from the thermometer to a text file.

•Erase the recorded temperature data from the thermometer.

•COM port auto detect.

•Enable/disable audible indications

Operation

The user application runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Seven. After installing the application, run the application, and you will see the following on the main menu:

•The line graph of the temperature in real time and the Engineering unit (ºF or ºC).

•The high & low alarm lines on the chart.

•The digital display of the infrared temperature in real time.

•The high & low alarm set points and the alarm LED indicators.

•Communication & over-range LED indicators.

•Displays the following parameters in real time:

1.Emissivity

2.Min/Max/Average/Differential Temperatures

3.Thermocouple Temperature (if applicable)

4.Distance Measurement (if applicable)

5.Elapsed time or Chart time

•Displays the data transmission interval (PRN) in seconds.

•Print icon. You can print the temperature line graph to a printer (By clicking on the Print icon) after stopping the recording process.
