Agilaire 8872 Manual
Chapter 2 Configuration
The
Parameter
screen displays the following fields. Some of the EPA Code fields are used only
if your license supports full Ambient Reporting.
Site
The Site you selected in the Parameter Settings tree
diagram will automatically be displayed.
Parameter
Alphanumeric characters to identify the Parameter
Parent Parameter
A Parent Parameter can be designated to form relationships
that can be used for drill-down in the Data Editor. For
example, a primary analyzer pollutant such as NOx could
be a parent and designated diagnostic parameters such as
sample flow or box temperature could be children. Another
example would be to assign particulate parameters as
parents and metals for XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis
as children. If the parameter has a parent parameter, select
it from the drop-down list.
Parameter Template
Parameter information can be filled in automatically by
selecting a Parameter Template, which will set up EPA
codes and units. Basic Parameter Templates are provided
in the 8872. If you want to automatically fill in parameter
information using a template, select a parameter template
from the drop-down list and click
Apply
. If you have
converted your data from E-DAS and the information is
already filled in, you can still select a template but if you
click
Apply
it will be overwritten.
