5.2. USING THE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (DAS)

The serial ports can be tested for correct connection and output in the COMM menu.
This test sends a string of 256 'w' characters to the selected COM port. While the test is
running, the red LED on the rear panel of the analyzer should flicker.
To initiate the test press, access the COMM Menu (refer to Figure 5-1), then press:

The T100 analyzer contains a flexible and powerful, internal data acquisition system
(DAS) that enables the analyzer to store concentration and calibration data as well as a
host of diagnostic parameters. The DAS of the T100 can store up to about one million
data points, which can, depending on individual configurations, cover days, weeks or
months of valuable measurements. The data are stored in non-volatile memory and are
retained even when the instrument is powered off. Data are stored in plain text format
for easy retrieval and use in common data analysis programs (such as spreadsheet-type
programs).
The DAS is designed to be flexible, users have full control over the type, length and
reporting time of the data. The DAS permits users to access stored data through the
instrument's front panel or its communication ports. Using APICOM, data can even be
retrieved automatically to a remote computer for further processing.
