3.0 CONFIGURABLE ANALOG OUTPUT OVERVIEW

There are three different methods to extract concentration data from the E-Series analyzers. By one method, the operator can set up an iDas (internal data acquisition) configuration either through the user display or using TAPI’s windows based software called APICOM. The analyzer stores data internally, which is available later for download through the RS-232 or Ethernet port. The second method involves the use of hyperlink where the user sends text based commands, to retrieve data, through the RS-232 port. With the third method, the operator can interface a strip chart recorder and/or data-logger to the analyzer analog outputs. The following sections outline the steps necessary to calibrate and configure the analog outputs.

There are four analog outputs on the rear of the analyzer. The default configurations of the M201E analog outputs are as follows:
