Otherwise,its internal optical background level will not be subtracted from the indicated concentration readings. Alternatively,if the instrument is not zeroed after resetting, it will indicate its unsubtracted optical background when run under particle free conditions. 9.0 COMMUNICATIONS WITH COMPUTER 9.1 Hardware and Software Requirements The computer requirements to install the software provided with the personalDataRAM (MIE pDR-COM) are the following: • IBM-PC compatible • 486 or better processor • Minimum operating system: Windows 95TM or better • >_8MBofRAM • 2 MB hard disk drive • 3.5" floppy drive • VGA or higher resolution monitor NOTE:When large files are logged in the personalDataRAM in one single tag, a faster computer speed is required to handle the data.
