NOTE: The instrument must be placed in “REMOTE MODE” when running this program. (Please refer to the
instrument manual for further directions.)
Both the PC running the software and the Airborne Particle Counter must be connected to the LAN and
properly configured in order to access the Airborne Particle Counter remotely via PC.
6.5.1. Start/End Measurement
1) To Start a Measurement
Click [Measurement] -> [Measurement] or the
icon to start a measurement.
If the LAN is not connected properly or the HOST cannot be found after one
minute, the error message shown on the right will be displayed.
If a LAN connection error occurs, confirm the settings on the
Airborne Particle Counter and the software settings (Refer to
6.4.1. LAN settings
2) To End a Measurement
Click [Measurement] -> [Measurement Stop] or the
icon. A dialog box appears asking “Are you sure
you want to stop measurement?” Click [Yes] to stop
measurement. Data collected up to the point the
measurement was stopped will be stored.
3) To Cancel Remote Mode
Click [Measurement] -> [Remote Mode Cancel] to
cancel the remote mode on the instrument.
NOTE: If you cancel the remote mode on the instrument,
you will need to place the instrument back in remote

6.5.2. Measurement
Measurement Control:
During a measurement, the program performs measurement timing control, turns the Airborne Particle
Counter pump on and off, and downloads data.
Data Display:
During a measurement, you can display the time series graph and data table in real time.
(Refer to 6.6 Remote Measurement Data Display
.)
6.5.3. Measurement Data Storage
Specify the destination to save data manually after measuring.
After completing a measurement, you can spec ify a file name and destinat ion for the saved data. Data can be
saved as “.CSV (Microsoft Excel comma-delimited character file)” or “.TXT”.
For example, if you enter “Test” as a data file name and choose to save it as “.CSV”, the data is saved as
“Test.KRM” and “Test.CSV”. Also, if you choose to save it as “.TXT”, the data is saved as “Test.KRM” and
“Test.TXT”.
<If an in-progress measurement is interrupted>
If the PC is shut down unintentionally or the power goes out, data can be recovered.
Data for incomplete measurements is saved as a “temp.KRM” file in the folder where the software is stored
(Default location is: “C\:Program Files\KANOMAX\APC3900”).
You can open this file with “Measuring Software” and save it under a different name.

6.6.2. Particle Graph
To display the particle graph, go to [View] -> [Time Series Graph] -> [Particle] or click on the tool bar.
1) Particle Graph Window
Graphs are available with two types of vertical axis; linear and logarithm.
In the above windows, you can scroll the graph using the scroll bars. If you move the cursor over the graph it
will change to a red bar. As you position the bar over a particular time (shown on the X axis), the particle count
shown at the bottom of the graph will update to reflect the measurement data under the bar’s current location
While a measurement is in progress, the graph cursor functionality and the scroll bars are disabled.
Particle Graph (Linear) Particle Graph (Logarithm)
Data for each particle size will be
displayed in the order of
0.3µm, 0.5µm, 1µm, 3µm, 5µm and 10µm
