The key to the flexibility of the DAS is its ability to store a large number of
combinations of triggering events and data parameters in the form of data channels.
Users may create up to 50 data channels and each channel can contain one or more
parameters. For each channel, the following are selected:
•
One triggering event is selected.
•
Up to 50 data parameters, which can be the shared between channels.
•
Several other properties that define the structure of the channel and allow the user
to make operational decisions regarding the channel.
DESCRIPTION
)
.
A set of default Data Channels has been included in the analyzer's software for logging
CO concentration and certain predictive diagnostic data. These default channels include
but are not limited to:
•
CONC: Samples CO concentration at one minute intervals and stores an average
every hour with a time and date stamp. Readings during calibration and calibration
hold off are not included in the data.
•
By default, the last 800 hourly averages are stored.
•
PNUMTC: Collects sample flow and sample pressure data at five-minute intervals
and stores an average once a day with a time and date stamp. This data is useful
for monitoring the condition of the pump and critical flow orifice (sample flow) and
the sample filter (clogging indicated by a drop in sample pressure) over time to
predict when maintenance will be required.
•
The last 360 daily averages (about 1 year) are stored.
