Introduction
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to six gas sensors, the Eagle 2 Gas Monitor detects the presence of combustible gases, oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO),
hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and 2 other gases simultaneously. The
Eagle 2’s compact size and easy-to-use design make it ideally suited for a wide range of applications as described in the Eagle 2 Operator’s Manual. Please read the Eagle 2 Operator’s Manual first before using the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program.
The Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program downloads stored data in the Eagle 2 to a Windows-based PC. After the data has been downloaded, you can view, save, or print it using your computer and the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to use and set up the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program. You will learn how to:
•install and launch the program
•install the downloading cable (if needed)
•download data from the Eagle 2
•view, print, and save data
•change data logging parameters
•perform a calibration
•change the appearance of the program screens
•change the color of graphed readings for a particular gas
Before you get started, be sure to review the system requirements in the next section.
Introduction • 1
CAUTION: The Eagle 2 detects oxygen deficiency and elevated levels of oxygen, combustible gases, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide, all of which can be dangerous or life threatening. When using the Eagle 2, you must follow the instructions and warnings in the Eagle 2 Operator’s Manual to assure proper and safe operation of the unit and to minimize the risk of personal injury.
CAUTION: The operator of this instrument is advised that if the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
System Requirements
To use the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program , your personal computer must meet the following requirements:
•Operating Systems: Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® Vista, or Windows® 7.
•Processor: IBM® compatible PC running Pentium® 2 or higher.
•Memory: 32 MB RAM minimum
•Available Hard Disk Space: 32 MB minimum

4 • Installing the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program
IrDA Downloading Cable
The Eagle 2 communicates with a computer via an on-board infrared communication port that complies with IrDA protocol standards.
NOTE: If your computer has a built-in infrared port, you do not need an adapter cable to download data.
If your computer does not have an infrared port, you will need to install an IrDA/USB adapter cable on your computer to use the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program with your
Eagle 2. The IrDA/USB cable is available from RKI Instruments, Inc. See the Spare Parts List at the end of this manual for the RKI part number. This cable can also be found on many electronic supply websites.
Some versions of Windows® already have several infrared
device drivers loaded in Windows® and will automatically recognize a cable during the installation process and guide you
in installing the drivers. Other versions of Windows® will require you to load device drivers provided by the manufacturer of the cable during the installation process. RKI makes no warranty for the operation or compatibility of the drivers with any particular device.
Installing an IrDA Adapter Cable
After installing the Eagle 2 Data Logger Management Program, connect the IrDA/USB cable to your computer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the cable on your computer. Make sure the cable is compatible with your
Windows® operating system.
If you do not have instructions from the cable manufacturer for installing your cable, see your Windows documentation. In general, you must go to the Control Panel and use the Add Hardware Wizard to install the cable drivers.

Table 1 above lists the Eagle 2’s data logging capacity for a 4- gas unit for each interval trend time setting assuming no alarms or other events. The interval trend time setting can be set using the Set Window (see “Changing Eagle 2 Instrument Parameters” on page 77). It can also be set in the Eagle 2 Setup Mode (see the Eagle 2 Operator’s Manual).
20 • Eagle 2 Data Logging Capacity
Overwriting Data in the Eagle 2
The Eagle 2’s Data Log Overwrite function is factory set to On so that when the Eagle 2’s data logging memory becomes full, it begins to overwrite the oldest interval trend data with new internal trend data. Download data regularly to avoid overwriting data in the Eagle 2 before it can be downloaded. The Data Log Overwrite function is accessible using the Eagle 2 Setup Mode. To set the Data Log Overwrite function to Off, see the Eagle 2 Operator’s Manual. When the Data Log Overwrite function is set to off, the Eagle 2 will stop saving data when its data logging memory is full.
The Data Log Overwrite function applies only to interval trend data. All other data, such as alarm trend data, event data, or calibration data, will continue to be saved when the memory is full. If the maximum number of each of these types of data has been reached, the oldest data will be overwritten.

The Data Window is divided into four frames. The upper left frame is the Data Frame and displays all the data folders. They are grouped under the Eagle 2 icon in the upper left part of the frame. If the data folders are not visible, double click the
Eagle 2 icon to make them visible. If no data has been saved, then no folders will appear when the Eagle 2 icon is double clicked.
The lower left frame contains three selection boxes for organizing data. If none of the boxes are selected, then the data is organized as shown in Figure 16. The data may be organized by one or more of the following parameters: serial number, station ID, or user ID. Click the selection box or boxes in the lower left frame to organize the data as desired.
NOTE: In the examples that follow, the data will be shown organized by serial number. If you do not select any of the organization boxes or select the Station ID or User ID boxes instead of or in addition to the Serial No. box, your Data Window will look slightly different. The following examples also show the combustible channel as “CH4”. The catalytic combustible channel may be configured for a different gas. See the Eagle 2 Operator’s Manual for details regarding the configuration of the catalytic combustible channel.
The upper right frame shows the contents of a data folder that is selected in the Data Frame. The lower right frame shows the summary information for a data file that is selected in the upper right frame.
The View Data control button is located at the bottom of the lower right frame. The View Data button becomes active when a data file is selected in the upper right frame. Clicking View Data opens the data file and displays the data.
NOTE: If data is being viewed and the data folders are left open before instrument downloading is done, close all folders after downloading and re-open them to be able to view newly downloaded files.

Calibration History
The Eagle 2 is capable of saving calibration information for up to the 100 most recent calibrations. This calibration history is retrieved by the Data Logger Management Program when data is downloaded from the Eagle 2 using either the Complete Download download command or the Download Logger Data download command.
Instrument calibration information is also available in the Last Calibration Window. The information regarding the most recent successful calibration for each downloaded instrument along with whether or not an instrument is due for calibration can be accessed using the Last Calibration button on the right side of the program window. See “Viewing, Printing, and Deleting Data in the Last Calibration Window” on page 66 for a complete description of the information that can be accessed by the Last Calibration button.
All downloaded calibration information for all downloaded instruments is available in the Calibration History folders in the Data Window. This information is saved in a Calibration History Folder that is located in an untitled folder for each instrument. The calibration history files are differentiated by instrument. The calibration information available here is more comprehensive than that in the Last Calibration Window. The calibration information for all calibrations downloaded, whether successful or not, is saved instead of just the most recent successful calibration for each instrument.
