ABSTRACT:
A modular analyzer system consists of a control device and one or more functional analyzer modules linked to the control device. The analyzer modules include FID, NDIR, chemiluminescence and paramagnetic analyzers. Each analyzer module includes a microprocessor having all menus necessary for the operation of the analyzer. Menus are coded and transmitted in real time by providing the control device with a dictionary of menu phrases which are coded and the codes maintained in a code index at each analyzer module and at the control device. Since menus are maintained at the analyzer module and not transmitted until called for, there is no need to store specific menus at the control device. New modules can be easily added to the system and any phrases not already included in the phrase dictionary are downloaded to a supplemental dictionary when the new module is added. Data is displayed in the form called for by the analyzer menu and data from several analyzer modules can be displayed simultaneously. Auxiliary modules such as, for example, a computer, recorder or other field device can be linked into the system without reprogramming the system.
