Control Software

1.1 Instructions for Use
■This software is designed to retrieve data from Lumitester PD-30 (hereinafter called
PD-30) to the PC, and to send various measurement conditions from the computer to
PD-30.
This software does not apply to Lumitester PD-20, PD-10, and C-110.
■Do not start up the CD-ROM with non CD-ROM disc drive.
■Insert the batteries before connecting the PD-30 with a PC. Without the batteries, the
PD-30 may not start up.
■Read the Instruction Manuals of your PC, before installing this software.
■Disconnect the PD-30 from the PC before starting up or shutting down the operating
system. If you start-up, shut down, or restart your PC with the PD-30, the operating
system may not start-up or shut down properly, or the PD-30 may not be recognized
correctly.

After inputs, press the write button to write the levels to the PD-30.
3.3 PLAN measurement
While the PD-30 unit only provides [MODE Measurement] in which MODE numbers
with dierent judgment level inputs are switched for measurement, this software
allows you to use [PLAN Measurement] in which multiple objects can be handled
as a series of tests.
Although PLAN measurement can be used in many ways, you rst need to set a
PLAN according to the purpose of your test. This section describes how to set a
PLAN for ve objects (Object 01, Object 02, Object 03, Object 04, Object 05) with
an example of 4-step test scenes [Present Survey, Low Level, Middle Level, High
Level]. (The Levels (Low Level to High Level) represent the site cleaning levels of
the object.)

3.4.2 Saving Memory Data in File
①Click the "Save File (CSV)" or "Save File (JPEG)" button.
②Specify the save destination and le name, then click the "Save" button.
<File in CSV Format File>
rThe default le name is [serial number of PD-30] + [date of saving].
rYou can process data using functions of a spreadsheet software.
Display the model. Display the serial number of PD-30. Display the date on which the le
was saved.
The default le name is [serial number
of PD-30] + [date of saving].
-01-
<File in JPEG Format File>
rThe default le name is [serial number of PD-30] + [date of saving].
rEach le name is suxed by an auto-assigned le number. File numbers start
with 01.
rOne le saves up to 38 pieces of memory data.
Therefore, if you save 2000 pieces of data, 53 les will be created.
Caution
The control software saves les in JPEG format with necessary and sucient image quality.

3.5 AX+B Measurement
AX+B measurement is not normally used for swab test.
Measured values are converted by the primary expression, and displayed.
The unit for the values can be selected as required.
Conversion Expression : Y = AX + B X : Relative Light Unit (RLU)
Y : Displayed Value
A : Coecient
The initial value is 1 (1.00E+00).
B : Coecient
The initial value is 0 (0.00E+00).

Relative Light Unit (RLU)
Gradient A
B
Ex) ATP Concentration (mol)
rTemperature compensation is OFF if AX+B measurement is selected.
rWhen performing MODE 000 measurement by selecting AX+B measurement,
the unit is RLU and temperature compensation is OFF.
(When performing MODE 000 measurement with PLAN measurement
available, follow the temperature compensation setting.)
