Quick Start Guide for First-Time Users of the MonoCell
MonoCell
MonoCell Components
Tinn includes a hardware adjustment from H/W 1.04r to ensure stable compatibility with single-cell sensors (KN10, KN10-HT150).Earlier versions (1.02r and prior) are not compatible—please check your controller’s H/W version before use. If you are using an older unit, you will need to purchase a unit with H/W 1.04r or later to use single-cell sensors.
How to Install and Use MonoLAB Software
MonoLAB is the software provided by MonoCell.
Follow the steps below to install and use it with ease.
2. Run the Installation File
Follow the installation guide to complete the installation.
※ During the installation, FTDI drivers and .NET Framework will be installed. Both must be installed.
In most cases, .NET Framework is already installed, so you may receive a message indicating it is already installed.
3. Connect the Tinn Controller and Launch MonoLAB
Connect the Tinn controller to your PC using a USB cable.
When you launch MonoLAB, the software will automatically detect the connected device port.
※ If multiple devices are connected, the software may not connect to the intended device.
4. Create a Project File
Click the "Create New Project" button and enter a name for your project.
Then click the "Save" button to create the project.
※ Project files are saved in the .mlp format.
5. Connect the Sensors
Check the controller's connection ports and determine where to connect each sensor.
– You can connect up to 10 sensors in total.
6. Exit 'Edit Mode'
Once the main screen of the program appears, switch Edit Mode under the Setup menu to "Off".
When Edit Mode is turned "On", you can configure sensor connections, names, and layout.
However, real-time analysis is not available in this mode.
For more details about sensor setup mode, please refer to the MonoCell User Manual.
7. Start Real-Time Analysis
After connecting the sensors to the controller, check the central monitoring screen to ensure sensor output is being received.
By default, sensors 1 through 10 are placed in the first row of a 10×10 matrix layout.
This completes the installation and basic setup of MonoCell.

It is recommended to operate the sensor within the pressure range specified in the datasheet.
Depending on the extent of the pressure exceeding the range, the outcomes can vary:
Slightly exceeding the pressure range
If the applied pressure slightly exceeds the specified range, measurement accuracy may degrade significantly.
This can result in reduced pressure resolution, where subtle differences in pressure distribution might no longer be distinguishable.
Example: Within the specified range, a pressure difference of 1 kgf/cm² can be detected. Beyond the range, the sensor may only detect differences of 2 kgf/cm² or more.
Additionally, minor physical impressions on the sensor surface could affect the output to a small extent.
Note: This does not constitute damage that would render the sensor unusable.
Significantly exceeding the pressure range
When the applied pressure greatly exceeds the recommended range, the sensor may fail to measure pressure distribution accurately.
Moreover, the sensor could be physically damaged (e.g., tearing or deformation), potentially making it unusable.
In most cases, severe damage occurs when pressure is applied using a sharp or narrow object.
If the pressure exceeds the recommended range significantly, please contact us for further assistance.
