meter heated gas cell and a TE cooled DTGS detector, with a resolution of
0.5 cm-1.
PC
The PC is a 2U Rackmount industrial PC with the following components:
Black ATX 2U heavy duty steel case
●
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 2.4 GHz
●
1GB DDR2 800mHz RAM
●
250GB SATA2 hard drive
●
24X DVD RW drive
●
1.44 MB floppy drive
●
3 RS-232 serial ports
●
2 Ethernet ports
●
2 front-facing USB ports, 4 rear-facing USB ports
●
32-channel analog output board
●
96-channel digital output board
●
300W power supply
●

The PC gathers information from the FTIR and temperature controller
and reports readings over analog and digital I/O lines, Ethernet, and Serial.
Thermo Fisher Scientific OMNIC and Result software is used to control
the FTIR over a USB interface. Calogix CALGrafix software is used to
communicate with the temperature controller over a USB interface.
National Instruments NI-DAQ software is used to control the analog and
digital I/O boards. IMACC IFSS is used to bring everything together and
calculate the individual gas concentrations and report the results.
A data logger is required to:
Capture measurement data in real-time
●
Allow the operator to trigger a calibration check sequence
●
Manually control calibration gases
●
Mark data taken during any calibration purge or activity
●
Generate reports
