Settings for the IRGASON are easily verified or changed using the Windows
PC support software ECMon (Eddy Covariance Monitor), which is found on
the IRGASON, EC150 & EC155 Support CD (p/n 27007) or at
www.campbellsci.com
.
Before installing ECMon, read the file titled _Read_me.txt found on the
IRGASON, EC150 & EC155 Support CD. This file directs the user to install
USB drivers (also found on the support CD), which are required for
communications between the PC and the EC100 via the EC100 USB cable (p/n
26561). Some newer PC operating systems will automatically find and
download the USB drivers from the internet when the USB cable is connected
to the PC. Once the drivers are installed, download and run the ECMon.exe
install file. Launch ECMon, and connect the EC100 electronics to the PC with
the included EC100 USB cable (p/n 26561). The USB connection for the
EC100 electronics is found on the base of the enclosure (see Figure 6-7). Once
connected, select the appropriate communications port in the ECMon main
page and click Connect (see Figure 7-1). Next, click on the Setup button. All
of the preceding settings are now available for editing (see Figure 7-2).
Besides changing settings, ECMon is a useful tool for common tasks such as:
• Monitoring real-time data from the IRGASON from the main window
• Performing manual zero and span of the instrument (see Section 9.4, Zero
and Span)
• Troubleshooting and monitoring diagnostics using the Status window.
