®

easy go

The Q-tag ® easy go program is used with the Q-tag ® CLm doc family.

The CLm doc devices can be activated, re-configured and backed - up with the easy go (depending on the pre-configured settings you have chosen for the devices).

To avoid a common error message, please make sure that you always use the same USB port at each PC / Mac so that the device can recognize the pre-defined drive.

⚠

If you use the Q-tag ® easy go program for the first time, start with chapter 1 (Initial Set-up).

If you have already made the initial settings, then please proceed with chapter 3 (Button configuration) or chapter 4 (Loading configuration settings).

1. Initial Set-up

1.1 Create the following two folders on your computer:

• Config files (to store all configuration files)

• PDF reports (to collect and store the PDF reports

from all Q-tag ® CLm doc devices)

Note:

These files may be stored anywhere on your computer (e.g.

My Documents, Data Logger File, etc.)

1.2 Save the configuration file

Once your requested settings are programmed, you will receive the configuration file from Berlinger & Co.

AG. Save this configuration file in the newly created folder „config files“.

1.3 Download the Q-tag ® easy go program

Make sure that the free Java Runtime Version 6.0 or higher is installed on your computer before downloading the Q-tag ® easy go program. Download and save, e.g. on your desktop, the Q-tag ® easy go program from our website: www.berlinger.ch\CLmdoc under “downloads”.

1.4 Connect a Q-tag ® CLm doc device to your computer

If the device is connected properly to the computer, a check mark and the word USb will appear on the display.

(see chapter 1.1).

2.9 Choose your folder and press „open“.

If you do not want to always use the same USB-port when working with the Q-tag ® easy go program, please make sure to always choose your actual drive as described under chapter 2.3.

This ensures that the easy go program is able to communicate with the connected Q-tag® CLm doc device.

4.2 Click on the desired configuration button in the Q-tag ® easy go software.

Attention:

If you are using the reusable Q-tag ® CLm doc LR device any data will be automatically stored in the back up file created in step 1.1. The file will be named by the serial number + a number determined by the number of times the device has been used (e.g. second use will add a 2 to the end of the serial number).

Once you clicked on the requested tab, the window on the left will open.

4.3 The following information can now be set, provided that your device was ordered with any of these extra functionalities:

• A text can be added to the PDF report. You can use 3 lines with 20 characters each.

• GMT can be changed. It is recommended to use GMT if devices are in use around the world.

• A fix start time can be set. You decide on which day and at what time the device shall start itself.

Note:

If your device was not ordered with changeable settings, you are still able to change the information in this window in Q-tag ® easy go program but none of these entries will be loaded to your Q-tag ® CLm doc device.

4.4 After pressing OK, you will see the following screen with the confirmation of a successful upload of the configuration.

The message also gives you the information about how many files the Q-tag ® easy go has uploaded from the device to the PDF folder on your computer.

Attention:

If the message indicates that it uploaded 0 files from the device make sure that the device is connected to the correct USB-port (same as set as drive under point 2.3).

Note:

The above message is only the confirmation from the computer that it delivered the new file to the device successfully.

4.5 Make sure to always check the devices display after disconnecting it from the computer for the information as shown in the picture. This means that the device is processing the new configuration.

Attention:

To ensure a successful upload, always use the „safly remove hardware“ function ( ) on your PC/MAC in the same way you would remove a standard USB memory stick.

4.6 Once the program is uploaded completely the check mark and the word „COnF“ appears on the display for

10 seconds. This means that the upload worked pro- perly and the device can now be used.

Note:

The display of the device will turn blank after this screen until you start the device again.

(To start the device please consult the corresponding user manual.)

Attention:

If a cross instead of the check mark appears, please check if you uploaded an appropriate configuration file for the device.
