F.2 Tools and Parts Required • Long flathead screwdriver (6” x 5/16” recommended) 9/16” open end wrench • Swagelok ISO parallel thread adaptor 1/4"-1/8” SS-400-1-2RS (Picarro PN • 22928) • Swagelok gasket SS-2-RS-2V (Picarro PN 22929) 1/4" tubing and stainless-steel ferrule set •...
Slide the 1/4” exhaust tubing into the Swagelok nut and ferules until the tubing is fully seated, then using a 9/16" wrench, tighten the nut approximately seven flats (420 degrees).

The A0311 and External Valve Sequencer GUI makes it easy to program the sequence and duration of sample intake from various attached sampling lines, flasks, or bags. The manifold is controlled using either the Picarro analyzer GUI or an external hand-pad (included with the A0311).
Figure 101: A0311 – 16-port Distribution Manifold G.3 A0311-S 16-Port Distribution Manifold (Silco) Compatibility The A0311-S (Figure 93) is broadly compatible with all Picarro analyzers but is optimized for use with sticky and reactive gases in the following platforms, nominally: G2103, SI2103, SI2108, SI2104, SI2205, G2307, G2509, and PI2114 •...
Figure 102: A0311-S – 16-Port Sequencer – Fast Multiport Gas Sampler G.4 Valve Control Configurations For all models of Picarro analyzers, the rotary valve control is disabled in the factory default setting. The solenoid valve control, however, is enabled by default for all solenoid valve connectors.
From the CRDS Data Viewer, Users dropdown menu login using your username and password. Then, from the Tools drop-down menu, select Show Valve Sequencer GUI. The Picarro valve sequencer window displays (Figure 94), but typically sitting behind the main GUI. Hitting alt-tab brings the Valve Sequencer GUI to the front.
If a user wishes to perform a set of steps only once, they may set a final step with a very long duration, or wait until the sequence is finished, and at the end of the last step, click Stop Sequence from the Action menu. P/N 40-0103 Rev. A PI5310 UM...
This Valve Code value active at a particular point in time can be shown in the main Picarro software GUI as SolenoidValves or sometimes ValveMask (this may require going to Settings > Service Mode > password picarro). The Rotary valve code can be displayed as MPVPosition.
(However, the timing of the sequence will be offset relative to the intended cadence.) To bring the sequencer interface back into view, from the main Picarro GUI, go to Tools > Show/hide Valve Sequencer again. Skipping Steps or Advancing to a Particular Step If desired, the valve sequence can be forwarded to the next step of the sequence by clicking the Run Next Step button on the UI.
Start Date, and the desired time under Start Time. When both values are in the future, the Schedule Sequence button will become active, and the user may click it. When the scheduled time arrives, the sequence will start automatically. P/N 40-0103 Rev. A PI5310 UM...

In the cavity, a series of mirrors reflects the infrared light through the sample, increasing the path length. For a Picarro cavity of only 25 cm in length, the effective path length of the cavity can be over 20 kilometers.
Introduction to CRDS Technology Figure 107: Schematic of Picarro CRDS Analyzer Cavity When the laser is on, the cavity quickly fills with laser light. A small amount of laser light is transmitted through the mirror closest to the photodetector, which turns the incident light into a signal that is directly proportional to the light intensity in the cavity.
Picarro instruments gather measurements from an “empty” cavity by switching the light to wavelengths that are not absorbed by the target molecules. The analyzer subsequently measures ring-down times at wavelengths that are absorbed by the target gas.
Picarro analyzers calculate the baseline underneath a poorly resolved peak by modeling the absorption peaks from other surrounding molecules and subtracting contributions from neighboring peaks to the absorption intensity.

For precise pressure control, the cavity pressure is monitored using a high- linearity pressure transducer. The system computer uses this pressure data in a feedback loop to control proportional valves that adjust the inlet and outlet gas flow of the cavity. P/N 40-0103 Rev. A PI5310 UM...
