Terminology used for the movement of data
from the analyser to the GAM application on
the PC.
Dual beam infrared
absorption
Method of gas detection by measuring how
much infrared is absorbed by the target gas.
Event log
Used as an aid to monitoring the use of the
analyser. It can also be used as a diagnostic
tool.
The event log can be viewed via Gas Analyser
Manager. It cannot be viewed on the analyser
screen.
Exhaust port
The usual manner for the gas to exit the
analyser is via the exhaust port located on the
top side of the analyser. This port should have
an exhaust tube attached.
Exhaust tube
Clear plastic tubing used to expel gases from
the exhaust port.
Factory settings
Default settings preset at time of manufacture
or service.
Firmware
Firmware is the term by which the internal
analyser software is known and is not
accessible by the client. This firmware is
updated to the latest version when the analyser
is returned in UK for servicing.
Flow measurement
Flow can be measured by either gas velocity
m/s or volume flow rate m
3
/hr. This
measurement of flow relates to the use of the
anemometer and not the internal flow
measurement technique.
Flow port
For the measurement of gas flow at the sample
point.
Gas Analyser Manager
Also referred to as GAM. PC based software
which enables the operator to upload and
download information to/from the analyser.
Gas Analyser Manager enables operators to
maximise the operation of their gas analyser. It
