Table 4.1 gives some indication to the measurement times depending
on the number of gases measured and the measurement times
selected. However, these times may vary from one measurement
cycle to another due to the cleanliness of the filters and the degree
of fluctuation in the concentration of the various gases.

4.1.2 Monitoring Task
A monitoring task consists of a series of similar measurement cycles.
These cycles can either be repeated at regular intervals or be
continuous:
4.1.3 Sampling Interval
The sampling interval is a measure of the time between the start of
one measurement cycle and the start of the following measurement
cycle.
When the Monitor is not sampling continuously the sampling interval
has to be defined by the user and is a fixed period of time (see
Fig.4.1 ).
