Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
This chapter briefly describes the SDM-2012 Docking Station and the Single Module Data
Viewer Program. This chapter also describes the SDM-2012 Docking Station Standalone
Operation Operator’s Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the
SDM-2012’s specifications.
About the SDM-2012
The SDM-2012 Docking Station is an advanced, reliable system that provides charging,
calibration, bump testing, and calibration and bump test records for both the GX-2012 and
Gas Tracer portable gas monitors. It is designed to save the calibration and bump test records
to a USB flash drive (standalone functionality) or to be connected directly to a computer (PC
controlled functionality). If calibration and bump test records are stored to a USB flash drive
while operating in the standalone configuration, the Single Module Data Viewer Program can
then be used with a Windows-based personal computer to retrieve calibration and bump test
data files from the USB flash drive or from the computer’s hard drive if the files have been
transferred to the hard drive from the flash drive. If you are using the PC Controller Program
while operating in the PC controlled configuration, you may retrieve instrument data, bump
test, and calibrate up to 10 instruments at once. Instrument information and data for each
instrument can be viewed directly using the PC Controller Program and can be printed from
the PC Controller Program. For instructions to use the SDM-2012 with the PC Controller
Program, see the SDM-2012 Docking Station PC Controlled Configuration Operator’s
Manual.
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to set up and use the SDM-2012 in Standalone
configuration. It also explains how to use the Single Module Data Viewer Program. You will
learn how to:
• install and launch the Single Module Data Viewer
• prepare the SDM-2012 for use
• perform a bump test
• perform a calibration
• save calibration and bump test records to a USB flash drive
• view, print, and export calibration and bump test records
• use the SDM-2012 to charge an instrument

CAUTION: The GX-2012 and Gas Tracer detect oxygen deficiency and elevated levels of
oxygen, combustible gases, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide (GX-
2012 only), all of which can be dangerous or life threatening. When using the
GX-2012 or Gas Tracer, you must follow the instructions and warnings in the
GX-2012 Operator’s Manual and/or the Gas Tracer Operator’s Manual to
assure proper and safe operation of the instrument 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.
