BreatheLITE lets you seamlessly import MP4 videos from video cameras and view them overlaid with synchronised dust monitor data. You can pinpoint when and where particle spikes occur, inspect timestamps and sensor readings together. 

You can only import .mp4 files up to 2GB in size. If you have a video that is not in this format, you will need to use a free online converter to change it into the correct format. 

To add a video, click the Device Button and select Videos. The video library dialog will open. In the Import Video tab, Click the Browse button and an open file dialog will be displayed. Select the desired .mp4 video file to import it. The file will then begin to be imported into BreatheLITE. 

Once the video is uploaded to the software, the next step is to confirm whether the timestamp of the video is correct. Getting the correct timestamp is vital for BreatheLITE to correctly overlay the device readings when a video is being viewed. You can amend any times or dates of videos by pressing the pencil button and click Save. The video will then import. 

A confirmation dialog will then be displayed to confirm the import. Click on the Yes button to complete the video import process. The video will then be available in the video library. 

To view a video using the Video Library, click the Device Button and select Videos. The video library dialog will open. Click on the Video Library tab and select the video you wish to view by clicking on the Play button. The video will then be displayed. 

To view a video using the Data Analysis component, select a device, date, PM size, Units of Measurement and all relevant Display Options and view the data. Once the chart has been displayed, if a video is found, a green play icon will appear on the chart. To view the video, click on the green play icon and the video will be displayed. 

To view a video using the Data Analysis component, select a device, date, PM size, Units of Measurement and all relevant Display Options and view the data. Once the chart has been displayed, if a video is found, a green play icon will appear on the chart. To view the video, click on the green play icon and the video will be displayed. 

To delete a video, click the Device Button and select Videos. The video library dialog will open. Click the Video Library tab and click the Delete button by the video you want to delete. A confirmation dialog will then be displayed. To delete the video, click the Yes button and the video will be removed. 

If the normal data analysis view doesn’t fit your needs, you can enable the Advanced Data Analysis Mode feature, in the app settings. Once enabled, you’ll be able to select multiple devices and view data over a range of data. To view the chart:

1. Select a device or multiple devices from the Devices drop down menu. 
2. Next select the Start Date and End Date for the time period you wish to view. 
3. Choose which particle size you wish to view, for either PM1, PM2.5, PM4.25 or PM10. 
4. Choose whether to view the data in µg/m³ or mg/m³ by selecting the relevant option in the Units drop down box.  
5. Choose which chart options you wish to view. 
6. View the chart by clicking Actions and select View Chart. 

 Once a chart has been displayed on the screen, there’s a list of icons that are displayed in the top right-hand corner as shown below, these are: 

• Save the current chart as a PNG file. 
• Zoom into the chart; click and hold the left mouse button to zoom in on the chart.

You can also do the same when exporting data into an Excel file, by following the same steps, then selecting Export to Excel. 

Before a Local Correction Factor can be calculated or applied, a minimum of five data sets, with at least four hours of sampling is required for comparison purposes. For accurate correction, ensure that the reference sample measurement duration matches the data collected from your XD1+. 

It’s recommended that when reference samples are taken alongside the XD1+ measurements, care is taken to consider sampling location, sampling distances and environmental influences – all of which can influence dust readings. 

To remove a Local Correction Factor, follow these steps: 

1. Navigate to the XD1+ device in the devices section and click on the Devices button.  
2. From the menu that appears, select the Local Correction Factor to proceed with removing an existing Local Correction Factor. 
3. Click on the Remove button in the bottom left section of the dialog. A dialog will then be displayed asking you to confirm the removal of the Local Correction Factor.  
4. Click Yes to proceed and No to abort the removal. If you clicked yes, the Local Correction Factor will then be removed from the device. 

Live data monitoring allows you to view real-time Live, STEL and TWA particulate matter readings from your connected device. To start live data monitoring for your device: 

1. Navigate to the Live Readings tab and select the relevant XD1+ device from the dropdown menu. 
2. After selecting the relevant device, click on the Start button. The live data display will update in real-time with the latest readings from the device. 
3. The live data display includes the following components: 
   • Measurement Cards: 3 cards display the current Live, STEL and TWA for your device’s selected Particle Matter size and units. 
   • Live Data Chart: A real-time chart plots the selected Live (in blue), STEL (in yellow) and TWA (in red) readings with automatic Y-axis scaling, time-stamped X-axis, and threshold lines for STEL and TWA alarms. The chart supports panning, zooming, resetting, and autoscaling.
     
4. To stop live monitoring, click on the Stop button. The device will then return back to its previous operating mode. 

To keep your XD1+ device running optimally, we recommend running a Compliance Check on the device every 90 days. To perform a compliance check on a device we recommend that you purchase a Trolex Compliance Pack+.
