OCTOBER 2010 3-9000-745

1.1 What’s new in MON 20/20

Users familiar with MON2000 or MON2000 Plus will find a few changes
when using MON 20/20:

• Login security is at the gas chromatograph level instead of at the
software level. This means that you no longer have to log in after
starting MON 20/20—but you do have to log in to the gas
chromatograph to which you are trying to connect. For more
information, see “Connecting to a gas chromatograph” on page 1-25.

• An “administrator” role has been added to the list of user roles. This
new role has the highest level of authority and is the only role that can
create or delete all other roles. For more information, see “Managing

users” on page 7-17.

• Multiple users can connect to the same gas chromatograph simultane­ously. By default, the first user to log in to the GC with “supervisor”
authority will have read/write access; all other users, including other
supervisor-level users, will have read access only. This configuration
can be changed so that all supervisor-level users have read/write
access regardless of who logs in first. For more information, see

“Managing the system” on page 4-2.

• Users can display multiple windows within MON 20/20.

• Automatic reconnection. If MON 20/20 loses its connection with the
GC, it automatically attempts to reconnect.

• Users can view multiple instances of certain windows. To aid in data
processing or troubleshooting, MON 20/20 is capable of displaying
more than one instance of certain data-heavy windows such as the
Chromatogram Viewer and the Trend Data window.

1-3

User Manual MON20/20 Software for Gas Chromatographs

3-9000-745 OCTOBER 2010

• Enhanced Chromatogram Viewer. The following enhancements have
been made to the Chromatogram Viwer:

- Users can view an unlimited number of chromatograms, in any

configuration. For example, a user can view an archived
chromatogram and a live chromatogram. For more information,
see “Viewing chromatograms” on page 2-1.

- The “Keep Last CGM” option. Upon starting a new run, MON 20/

20 can keep the most recently completed chromatogram on the
graph for reference.

- Overview window

. When zoomed in to a smaller section of a
chromatogram, the user can open a miniature ‘overview’ window
that displays the entire chromatogram, for reference. For more
information, see “Additional plot commands” on page 2-19.

- Older chromatograms available

. MON 20/20 has access to
archived chromatograms as old as four or five days. For more
information, see “Viewing an archived chromatogram” on page 2-5.

- Full screen mode. For more information, see “Working with the

graph” on page 2-15.

- Protected chromatograms. Chromatograms that you designate as
“protected” will not be deleted. For more information, see

“Protecting or unprotecting an archived chromatogram” on page 2-

9.

• The “Invert Polarity “option. This feature reverses a device’s effect.
For more information, see “Inverting the polarity of a valve” on

page 3-14 and “Inverting the polarity of a discrete input” on page 3-28.

• Streamlined variables-picking menu. The method for selecting
variables for calculations and other purposes is contained within one
simple, self-contained menu. For more information, see “Using the

context-sensitive variable selector” on page 1-42.

1-4

•GC Time

. The GC Status Bar displays the date and time based on the
GC’s physical location, which may be different than the PC’s location.
For more information, see “Setting the gas chromatograph’s date and

time” on page 2-40.

• Daylight savings time. You have option of enabling a GC’s daylight
savings time feature. Also, there are two options for setting the start
and end times for daylight savings time on the GC. For more
information, see “Adjusting daylight savings” on page 2-42.

MON20/20 Software for Gas Chromatographs User Manual

OCTOBER 2010 3-9000-745

• Baseline offsetting. In some situations that involve TCD detectors the

baseline may be displayed either too high on the graph, in which case
the tops of the peaks are cut off, or too low on the graph, so that the
bases of the peaks are cut off. If this occurs it is possible to offset the
baseline either up or down so that the entire peak can be displayed on
the graph. This offset will be applied to all traces—live, archived and
saved—that are displayed thereafter. For more information, see

“Viewing raw data” on page 2-38.

• Microsoft Excel-based Parameter List. The Parameter List has been

expanded to offer seven pages of information, and is Microsoft® Excel­based to allow for access outside of MON 20/20. The document can be
imported to and exported from GCs. For more information, see

“Working with the parameter list” on page 5-10.

• Optional Foundation Fieldbus variables. If your GC is installed with

a Foundation Fieldbus, you can map up to 64 GC variables to monitor
using the AMS Suite. For more information, see “Mapping

Foundation Fieldbus variables” on page 4-98.

• Optional local operator interface (LOI) variables. If your GC is

installed with an LOI, you can configure up to 25 GC parameters to
monitor using the LOI’s Display mode. For more information, see

“Working with local operator interface variables” on page 4-96.

• Access to GC-related drawings such as flow diagrams, assembly

drawings, and electrical diagrams.

• Validation runs. During a validation run, the GC performs a test

analysis to verify that it is working properly. For more information,
see “Managing Validation Data Tables” on page 4-35 and “Validating

the Gas Chromatograph” on page 6-7.

1.2.2 Installing MON 20/20

You must install MON 20/20 from the Emerson Process Management
MON 20/20 Software for Gas Chromatographs CD-ROM onto your hard
drive; you cannot run the program from the CD-ROM.

Double-click the Setup file and follow the on-screen installation
instructions.

Upon successful installation, MON 20/20 creates a shortcut icon on the
computer’s desktop.

Note

MON 20/20 is not an upgrade to MON2000; therefore, MON 20/20 should be installed to
its own directory, separate from the MON2000 directory.

Note

You must be logged onto the computer as an administrator to install MON 20/20. Vista
and Windows 7 users, even with administrator privileges, will be prompted by the
operating system’s User Account Control feature to allow or cancel the installation.

1.2.3 Launching MON 20/20

To launch MON 20/20, double-click its desktop icon or click the Start
button and select Emerson Process Management → MON 20/20.

1.2.4 Registering MON 20/20

Each time you start MON 20/20 it will prompt you to register if you have
not already done so. To delay or suspend this registration prompt, see

Step 3.

Note

An active Internet connection is required to register.

Registering your copy of MON 20/20 allows you to receive information
about free updates and related products.

Note

To delay registration, check Register later (remind me). MON 20/20 will display the

Register MON 20/20 window the next time you start the program. To prevent the
Register MON 20/20 window from displaying with each program startup—and without

registering—check Register later (don’t remind me).

Note

You can register at any time by selecting Register MON 20/20... from the Help menu.

4. Click Finish.

1.2.5 Setting up the data folder

The data folder stores GC-specific files such as reports and
chromatograms. The default location for the data folder is C:\GCXP
Data. If you want MON 20/20 to store its data in a different location—on
a network drive, for instance—do the following:

1. Move the GCXP Data folder to its new location.

2. Select Program Settings... from the File menu.

3. The current location of the data folder displays in the Data Folder

field.
