which is physically located in the cell block. The thermistor is a temperature dependent resistor that changes the gain of the amplifier in proportion to the temperature changes in the block. This change is inversely proportional to the change in the cell output. The result is a signal that is temperature inde- pendent within a specified tolerance. The output from the second stage amplifier is sent to an 18 bit analog to digital converter controlled by the microprocessor.
The digital concentration signal along with input from the control panel is processed by the microprocessor, and appropriate control signals are directed to the display, alarms and communications port. The same digital information is also sent to a 12 bit digital to analog converter that produces the
Signals from the power supply are also monitored, and through the microprocessor, the system failure alarm is activated if a malfunction is detected.
