Stored data may not appear in Windows Explorer if you had saved data in the C:/ folder or the folders und er the Program Files (Program Files(x86) for 64 bit). Click “Compatibility files” in Windows Explorer to display the data. If you can not perform this operation, or “Compatibility files” does not appear, you need to save data in the folder such as “My Document” which users can read or write.
When using the A irborne Particle Cou nter Software, you nee d to configure the settings for Scheduler Software. Otherwise, schedule data will not appear and can not be transferred when using the File Transfer Software to transfer schedule.
Click [Start] -> [(All) Programs] -> [KANOMAX]. Right-click [Scheduler Software] and click [Properties].

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 mode before you can begin another measurement (Please refer to the instrument manual for further directions).

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.
