Before a measurement task can commence, there are a variety of

parameters that must be defined first. This is called “Setting up the

Monitor”.

This chapter instructs you on how to set up the monitoring system

before starting to measure. As mentioned previously in this manual,

the parameters can be defined using the PC Use instructions, i.e.

when using a PC, or the stand-alone Use instructions, i.e. when using

the front panel push-keys on the monitor.

Before leaving the factory, each of the parameters found in the set-

up “tree” (see the Quick Set-up Guide) are given factory values

(default values).

When setting-up the Monitor as a stand-alone instrument, those

values with a cursor underneath them are the active values. It is

the active values, which determine how the Monitor will operate.

Warning! Failure to define any parameter may result in the default

parameters being used. This can result in the monitor measuring

incorrectly or being unable to start the measurement task.

7.1 The Parameters’ Units

The Monitor works internally with measurement parameters in SI

units. These units can be converted and displayed as a variety of

other measurement units. Defining the units here has two uses. It

enables you to set-up the measurement parameters using familiar

units and displays the measurement results with the desired

concentration units.

These parameters are listed below.
