Using GPS
Bluetooth can be used for acquiring GPS data.
Before using PC or GPS for the rst time, the
device must be bounded (paired) with the KM-7,
see the manual for details.
The third item of the Setup menu enables/disa-
bles Bluetooth connection. If enabled, the forth
line BT MENU is displayed where connection
to GPS can be established and coordinates dis-
played - item GPS DATA.
BT is disabled if USB cable is connected to the
KM-7.
KMdata communication program
KMdata transfers data from KM-7 to PC via
USB cable or Bluetooth connection.
In the Scan remote mode, KMdata allows direct
acquisition of measurements from the KM-7.
Installation of the program and components is
automatic. To install USB drivers, your Windows
account must have administration privileges and
the KM-7 must be connected via USB cable.
To be able to connect via Bluetooth, the KM-7
must be rst bounded to PC (paired), see the
manual.
Then the Bluetooth connection of the KM-7 kap-
pameter to a PC in the program KMdata is establis-
hed automatically when using Windows Vista,
Windows 7 and higher (Microsoft Bluetooth stack).
This feature is available for almost all Bluetooth
adaptors. In the Windows XP, only few Bluetooth
adaptors are supported, and the connection must
be established manually every time.

measured data are transferred to the PC via
USB or Bluetooth and processed by the pro-
gram KMdata.
Measuring in Single mode
● Set sensor (Flat, Pin, Core) in Setup menu.
Be sure the pin is properly screwed to the
head when setting PIN.
● When measuring with GPS, make sure the
USB cable is disconnected, set BT ON in
Setup menu, set BT GPS in BT MENU, turn
on the GPS and wait for connection. When
measuring without GPS, set BT OFF in
Setup menu.
● Select Measure in main menu, set Single
mode. Measuring is done in three steps, with
maximum 10 s between them.
1. initial measurement with the instrument
placed minimum 30 cm far from the sample
(AIR1), press Enter
2. measurement of susceptibility with the
black head of the instrument placed para-
lel to the surce of the sample (SAMPLE),
press Enter
3. nal measurement with the instrument pla-
ced minimum 30 cm far from the sample
(AIR2), press Enter
● Do not move instrument while the icon M is
displayed (collecting signal ca 0.5 s).
● Save the displayed value by Enter, delete it
by Escape.
● Repeat the three steps or nish by Escape.
Measuring in Scan mode
