This does not represent any specific length of time since it is dependent on how often calibrations are performed.
As with all Data Channels, a time and date stamp is recorded for every data point logged.
DETAIL: Samples fourteen different parameters related to the operating status of the analyzers optical sensors
and PMT. For each parameter:
 A value is logged once every minute;
 An average of the last 60 readings is calculated once every.
 The last 480 averages are stored (20 days).
This channel is useful for diagnosing problems that cause the instruments measurements to drift slowly over time
FAST: Almost identical to DETAIL except that for each parameter:
 Samples are taken once per minute and reported once per minute, in effect causing the instrument to
record an instantaneous reading of each parameter every minute.
 The last 360 readings for each parameter are recorded/reported.
This channel is useful for diagnosing transients; spikes and noise problems.
These default Data Channels can be used as they are, or they can be customized to fit a specific application.
They can also be deleted to make room for custom user-programmed Data Channels. This can be done via the
instruments front panel or downloaded via the analyzer’s COM ports using a program such as APICOM (refer to
7.3.2.8) or other terminal emulation program.
NOTE
Sending an iDAS configuration to the analyzer through its COM ports will replace the existing
configuration and will delete all stored data. Back up any existing data and the iDAS configuration before
uploading new settings.
