Alternatively, the data in Display Memory can be printed out by

connecting a printer to the Monitor and transmitting data via the RS

232 interface port of the Monitor (see

Chapter 10

).

The storage space in Display Memory is finite. Once this memory has

been filled by data from a monitoring task any additional data

collected will start to overwrite some of the data already stored

there.

Block 5 – Stored Measurement Data:

By selecting to STORE data when the Monitor is operating in

Memory mode the user can copy data from Display Memory into

Background Memory to “protect” data against accidental deletion

from the Display Memory (see

section 9.3.1

for further details).

The storage space in Background Memory is finite and is exactly the

same size as the storage space available in Display Memory (see

section 8.3

for further details).

Data which has been stored in Background Memory can be recalled

to the Display Memory. This is done by operating the Monitor in

Memory mode and selecting to RECALL data (see

section 9.3.2

).

When data is “recalled” to Display Memory it is not transferred from

Background Memory to Display Memory, it is only copied into

Display Memory so there is no risk of losing it. In Display Memory the

user can scroll through the data.

Data stored in Background Memory can be deleted by operating the

Monitor in Memory mode and selecting to DELETE data (see

section

9.3.3

).

9.1.4

Effect of a Calibration Task on the Monitor’s Memory

Before calibration of the optical filters in the Monitor the UA number

of the installed filter is “entered” into the active set-up of the

Monitor. This enables the Monitor to find a set of numerical

parameters, which describe the optical filter (this information is

found in the Read Only Memory of the Monitor). These numerical

parameters are called Optical Filter Factors.

During a CALIBRATION TASK the Monitor uses the Optical Filter

Factors to calculate the calibration factors for the installed optical

filter. As explained in

section 9.1.2

, by “entering” a Filter Bank No. in

the active set-up before calibration of the particular filter with the

particular gas, each filter can be calibrated to measure up to five

different gases and the filter bank number tells the Monitor exactly
