DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (DAS & APICOM 
The T803 analyzer contains a flexible and powerful, internal data acquisition 
system (DAS) that enables the analyzer to store concentration and calibration data 
as well as a host of diagnostic parameters.  The DAS of the T803 can store 
several months of data, depending on how it is configured..  The data are stored 
in non-volatile memory and are retained even when the instrument is powered 
off.  Data are stored in plain text format for easy retrieval and use in common 
data analysis programs (such as spreadsheet-type programs). 
The DAS is designed to be flexible; users have full control over the type, length 
and reporting time of the data.  The DAS permits users to access stored data 
through the instrument’s front panel or its communication ports.   
Note 
The DAS can be disabled only by disabling or deleting its individual data 
channels. 
 
7.1. SETUP  DAS: USING THE DATA ACQUISITION 
SYSTEM (DAS) 
The principal use of the DAS is logging data for trend analysis and predictive 
diagnostics, which can assist in identifying possible problems before they affect 
the functionality of the analyzer.  The secondary use is for data analysis, 
documentation and archival in electronic format. 
To support the DAS functionality, Teledyne API offers APICOM, a program that 
provides a visual interface for remote or local setup, configuration and data 
retrieval of the DAS.  The APICOM manual (included with the program), 
contains a more detailed description of the DAS structure and configuration, 
which is briefly described here. 
The T803 includes a basic DAS configuration, which is enabled by default.  New 
data channels are also enabled by default, but each channel may be turned off for 
later or occasional use.

DAS operation is suspended whenever its configuration is edited using 
the analyzer’s front panel and therefore data may be lost.  To prevent 
such data loss, it is recommended to use the APICOM graphical user 
interface for DAS changes. Please be aware that all stored data will be 
erased if the analyzer’s disk-on-module or CPU board is replaced or if the 
configuration data stored there is reset..
