Docking

Communicating & downloading data

By using your docking station, USB cable, software, and your dosimeter, you can quickly communicate between the software and the dosimeter. There are two methods for communicating which are:

•Send setup data: Enables you to configure your set-up parameters in 3MTM Detection Management Software and download these parameters to the Edge.

•Retrieve data: you have the capability to retrieve the data from the dosimeter into DMS in order to view and analyze your studies in DMS’ charts, graphs, and reporting functionality.

How to connect your dosimeter to the computer

1.Dock the dosimeter on the EdgeDock1 (or 5) and turn on the dosimeter by

pressing the button.

2.Plug the USB cable into the computer. (See “A” in Figure 3-4).

3.Plug the opposite end into the docking station (See “B” and “C”).

NOTE: The docking station will be powered through the computer; thus, it is not required to attach the charger adapter. If you wish to charge the dosimeter, plug in the charger adapter. (Please see Charging for more information.)
