3MTMDetection Mangement Software (DMS)

3MTM Detection Management Software (DMS) is a software application designed by 3M that runs under the Windows operating system. You can use DMS for a variety of functions related to the Edge dosimeter and with many other 3M instruments. DMS has the ability to customize your set-up parameters, display data, manipulate data, and create reports.

Loading

To load DMS, follow the screen prompts.

It will automatically load the drivers for the EdgeDock1 and/or EdgeDock5. If loading from the 3M detection Internet site, please follow the directions online located: www.3m.com/detection or www.dms.com/detection.

Docking station functionality

Depending on the kit you purchased, you may have an EdgeDock1 and/or an EdgeDock5. Both are designed similarly with the same LED indicators. The main difference with the EdgeDock5 is that it has five bays for docking, charging, and/or managing the dosimeters. If desired, the EdgeDock5 will charge all docked instruments at one time.

The docking station serves a dual-purpose role:

1.It is used to charge the battery on the dosimeter(s).

2.It is used to communicate between the software (DMS) and the dosimeter (i.e., import, export settings and measurement files).
