The DylosLogger software allows users of Dylos Air Quality Monitors equipped with PC
interface to easily record, download, and graph data. The COM port is optional on the DC1100
and standard on the DC1700 battery operated Air Quality Monitor. Dylos monitors which are
equipped with the COM Port interface have a standard 9-pin serial connector. The software is
provided on CD with every PC Interface unit or can be downloaded from the Dylos website.
The software provides two basic capabilities – to download the internal history or to log data live
as it is being sampled.
Installing the software:
Run DylosLogger3.0.msi (Windows Installer program) from the provided CD.
Or,
Download the DylosLogger software from the website to a folder on your PC and
then run DylosLogger3.0.msi from that folder (unzip if necessary).
Connecting the DC1100 or DC1700:
If you have an older PC which is equipped with a COM port then you can connect
the DC1100 directly to the PC using a 9 pin serial extension cable. Customers
must supply their own cable.
If your PC does not have a COM port then you must connect using a USB to COM
port adapter cable. Customers must supply their own cable. You must install
the drivers that came with your cable. This driver will either be on the CD
which came with the cable or must be downloaded off the cable manufacturer’s
web site (in many cases drivers can be downloaded from the Prolific website
which is the major manufacturer of COM port to USB interface chips). If the
downloaded driver is in a zip file then extract those files to a working folder before
installing. This driver will create a virtual COM port on your PC which is the
COM Port you must select within the DylosLogger program. After the driver
for the cable has been installed on your PC then plug the cable into any available
USB port and connect the other end to the DC1100 or DC1700.
