APPENDIX D

Classifier Calibration

This appendix contains sections on calibrating the Model 3080

Classifier. There are three main aspects of the instrument that can

be calibrated by the user: sheath flowmeter, bypass flowmeter, and

impactor inlets. To assist in the calibration, there are settings on

the main menu from the front panel and custom software that

interfaces to the Classifier through the serial port on the back

panel. In addition, this chapter covers some features of the

Classifier that should only be done by a qualified technician.

Calibration Software Setup

The calibration software is designed for Windows

2000 or

Windows

XP operating system. To install the software, follow the

steps below.

1. With the computer on and Windows running, insert the 3080

Calibration Software CD into your CD drive to run the

autorun.exe from the CD.

2. If AutoPlay is enabled on your PC, the setup program will begin

automatically and the introduction screen is displayed on the

Windows desktop.

3. If AutoPlay is not enabled, select Run from the Start menu and

type D:\SETUP (where D is the letter corresponding to your CD

drive) in the Open box and press OK.

4. Follow the instructions as the setup program runs. When setup

is complete, you should read the readme.htm file. The

readme.htm file contains information that could not be included

in this manual. If you decide not to read this file immediately,

you can access the file later using a browser such as Windows

Explorer.

5. When the installation program finishes, remove the CD-ROM.

The calibration software requires that an unused serial port from

your computer be connected to the Model 3080 Classifier using the

serial cable (and adapter, if needed) provided in the accessory kit.

Connect the cable, power up the Classifier and then run the
