(device specific) as well as the reference
variables temperature and pressure.
● Measuring principle: Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS).
2.1.1 Device version
2.1.2 Device variants
“Basic” variant
● Reference cycle (see “Reference cycle”, page 10): Correction of internal drifts, zero point
check.
● Automatic mirror tracking: Automatic adjustment of optical axis.
● Logbook: System messages are recorded in a logbook.
● Network: Ethernet interface (Modbus TCP, SOPAS ET, OPC server).
“Pro” variant
As “Basic” variant. In addition:
● TÜV performance tested for equipment subject to authorization (→ Technical Data).
● Check cycle, see “Check cycle”, page 10 : Reference cycle (as in the “Basic” variant), fol-
lowed by a cycle to check and output the zero and check point.
The check cycle creates the QAL3 values (quality assurance of automated measuring
systems). The QAL3 values can be displayed with SOPAS ET.
● Operator panel: Measured values, operational state and malfunction messages are dis-
played in clear text on a monitor.
● QAL3 Tool (CUSUM chart).
