A: Displays a list of all available databases held within PDMS. B: Shows the table status indicator. This describes the total number of entries contained in the database, the number of valid record entries, deleted record entries, and background record entries. C: Shows the data table for the selected PDMS database. D: Spectral graph which displays the spectrum of the selected record(s)

Below the horizontal scroll bar you will also notice multiple scroll tick marks. The scroll tick marks allow you to position the scroll tool to access ranges of 500 records. The number of scroll tick marks depends on the number of records in a particular database. For example, suppose a database table with 2679 records that has been selected. The horizontal scroll select tool is in the rightmost position which displays the last set of 500 records. The last record in this example is the record with measurement number 2679. The horizontal record scroll tool can be repositioned to any of the various tick marks to access various sets of 500 records. For example, if the first tick mark (1) is selected records from 1 500 are accessed, the second tick mark (2) accesses records 251 750, the third (3) 501 1000 and so on.

If the horizontal record scroll bar is moved to the second tick mark (2), records 251 750 are displayed. The vertical record scroll tool, shown below in red, can be used to access records within this 500 record set. In this example, if the horizontal record scroll tool is in the second position (2) , the vertical record scroll tool is in the bottom most position, which displays the last of the 500 records, for our example record number 750. If the vertical record scroll tool is moved to the uppermost position the first of the 500 records will be displayed in the data table, for our example record number 251. Records of any size database can be easily displayed and accessed by using the horizontal and vertical record scroll tools.

You can adjust the column width by grabbing and adjusting the position of the column-heading field. Defining which database fields are displayed in the database table can be controlled by a right click with the mouse in the database table. This displays a complete list of all available database fields. You can click Show All to display all available fields, or select Show Only Time Date and check off the all database fields of interest as shown below.
Table row heights can be adjusted by dragging the row height adjustment control.

The size of the Spectral Graph can be adjusted either by grabbing the edge of the program and resizing the window, or by grabbing the line that separates the Table Data from the Graph section.

The PHAZIR Data file name is also concatenated with the PHAZIR serial number. In this way the PDMS can manage data from multiple PHAZIR devices. So in this example, with a PHAZIR serial number of 1234, the final PHAZIR Data File name would be Application1-1234. To import a PHAZIR data table make sure the PHAZIR is turned on and is ready to connect to a PC. When you attach the USB cable, you should see a message on the LCD display Preparing data ... followed by USB cable attached. This indicates that the PHAZIR is ready to transfer data. Next select Import Data form the PDMS File menu Open the PHAZIR drive and select the desired PHAZIR Data File. These are stored in the root directory on the PHAZIR (\PHAZIR\Applications-1234).
Each record contains a unique record identification number, which is used to synchronize the data and transfer all of the records not already stored. PDMS will present the following message when the data import is successfully completed.

Export Data Types: Allows you to select one or more of the entry types listed for export. Export Range: Allows you to specify a subset of the table to be exported. Your options are as follows:
Selected Records: allows you to specify that the data you wish to export is currently selected. In order to use this option, you must select the desired rows before performing the Eport Table function. All Records: will cause the entire database to be exported. Date Ranged: this allows you export data that was taken during a selected date range. This method uses the date associated with the spectra, as defined by the PHAZIR during data collection, to filter the records to export.
After clicking OK, a dialog opens allowing you to select a location and filename you can export to. You can specify either an unencoded CSV file format, or the encoded PBR format. Both of these formats are compatible with PHAZIR Method Generator, but only the CSV can be viewed by excel or a text editor.

If a table is deleted and the PHAZIR data file is still loaded on the PHAZIR or stored elsewhere, it can be re-imported.

The operator is then prompted to provide some optional text information to describe the reason for marking the scan as Deleted which is saved in the comments field.
Notice in this example that the record with RowID 850 was marked as deleted (A). After the Deletion process was executed the record is deleted from the displayed database table and the database table status now indicates that there is 1 deleted record (B).
Note: Records may also be marked for removal directly from the PHAZIR Analyzer using the
Page 15
Scan Marking function. The Scan Marking allows operators a method to indicate when bad scans have been measured. For example the operator may accidentally pull the trigger before the sample was ready for measurement. In this case the operator can use the Scan Marking function by pressing the down arrow button immediately after a scan is acquired and selecting a scan marking from the list. If the selected scan marking was defined as Mark for Removal it will be filtered by PHAZIR Data Management System on import.

Now the electronic signature has been applied to the record. In this case the Admin user was configured in PHAZIR Setup Utility with L4 or the highest level of signature. You may select one record to apply a single electronics signature or batch mode by selecting multiple records.

To generate a report first select a record from the database table. Then select the Run Reports item from the Reports menu. A report preview will be displayed. You can Save the report as a JPEG file (image file format) or Print the report. Reports can be saved in a non-editable PDF file format if you have Adobe Distiller (or equivalent) program installed. If you select multiple records you can choose to Save All or Print All. If you select Save All for multiple reports you will be prompted for a base filename for the report. PDMS will automatically increment the base filename by 1 and save the reports in consecutive file names (i.e. report1, report2, etc.) You can view multiple reports by selecting the Preview and Next buttons.
