6 Using eosLink-FD
6.1 Overview
eosLink-FD is an application that allows the user to communicate with the eosFD chamber in order to
change various instrument settings, as well as collect and clear logged data. eosLink-FD is compatible
with Windows PCs.
6.2 Installing and Connecting
Simply copy the eosLink-FD.zip file (available on the
section of our website, or by contacting
us at:
) to a suitable directory on the PC in use, then unzip the file, which
contains the eosLink-FD software folder. None of the files in this
folder should be removed or changed in any way. If this occurs,
simply delete the entire folder from your PC and re-extract from
the zip file to re-create the folder.
We recommended that you connect the data cable to your
computer prior to launching eosLink-FD; however you may also
refresh the program from the Connection menu. You may have
to refer to the Windows Device Manager if several serial port
devices are connected to the computer, and choose the correct
port through (Options
⇒
Change COM Port).

Once the port is selected, the eosFD will automatically attempt to connect. When the connection is
successfully established, the grayed out buttons and text will become active, and the eosFD serial
number and storage capacity will be shown at the bottom of the window.
6.3 Using the eosLink-FD Interface
The eosLink-FD window consists of four menus, five buttons and a status section at the bottom, as
detailed in the following subsections. Once the eosFD has been connected, the user can begin
modifying instrument settings. Left idle, the eosFD will automatically disconnect after ten minutes of
inactivity (timeout restarted every time a command is sent).
