CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before using the
GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program. Also read
and understand the GX-6000 Operator’s Manual included
with the GX-6000 portable gas detection unit.
Introduction • 1
Introduction
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to six gas sensors,
the GX-6000 Personal Gas Monitors detects the presence of combustible
gases, oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
and various other toxic gases simultaneously. The compact size and easy-
to-use design make them ideally suited for a wide range of applications as
described in the GX-6000 Operator’s Manual. Please read the GX-6000
Operator’s Manual first before using the GX-6000 Data Logger
Management Program.
The GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program downloads stored data
in the GX-6000 to a Windows-based PC. After the data has been
downloaded, you can view, save, or print it using your computer and the
GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to use and set up the
GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program. You will learn how to:
• install and launch the software
• install the downloading cable (if needed)
• access and store data in a common database
• download data from the GX-6000
• view, print, and save data
• change data logging parameters
• create user and station IDs
• 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.
CAUTION: The GX-6000 unit 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 GX-6000, you must follow the
instructions and warnings in the GX-6000 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.

4 • IrDA Downloading Cable
IrDA Downloading Cable
The instrument communicates with a computer via an on-board infrared
communication port that complies with IrDA 1.1 protocol standards.
NOTE: If your computer has a built-in infrared port that complies with
IrDA 1.1 protocol, 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 1.1 compliant IrDA/USB adapter cable on your computer to use the
GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program with your instrument. An
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.
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 GX-6000 Data Logger Management Program, you must
install the driver for the IrDA/USB adapter cable. Make sure the cable
driver is compatible with your Windows® operating system.
NOTE: Do not plug in the IrDA/USB adapter cable into your computer
before installing the driver.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the cable on your
computer. 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.
Windows® Wireless Link Operation Note
When using an IrDA adapter cable and the GX-6000 Data Logger
Management Program on a Windows® computer, it is necessary to make a
special setting in the Wireless Link Configuration window for proper
communication between the instrument and the GX-6000 Data Logger
Management Program. This must be done before attempting to use the
program. Follow these steps to make this setting:
1. Click Start on the Windows® Icon Tray.
