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 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.
CALDAT: Logs new slope and offset of CO measurements every time a zero or
span calibration is performed and the result changes the value of the slope
(triggering event: SLPCHG). The CO stability data to evaluate if the
calibration value was stable are also stored.
•
This data channel will store data from the last 200 calibrations and can be used to
document analyzer calibration and is useful in the detection of the in slope and
offset (instrument response) when performing predictive diagnostics as part of a
regular maintenance schedule.
•
The CALDAT channel collects data based on events (e.g. a calibration operation)
rather than a timed interval and therefore does not represent any specific length of
time. As with all data channels, a date and time stamp is recorded for every logged
data point.
