4.2.3.   Pneumatic Sensor Board 
The sensor board consists of 2 pressure sensors and a flow sensor. One pressure sensor measures 
the pressure in the reaction cell. The reaction cell is maintained at about one-quarter of 
atmospheric pressure. The second pressure sensor measures the pressure upstream of the reaction 
cell, which is near ambient pressure. From these two pressures the sample flow rate can be 
computed and is displayed as sample flow in the TEST menu. Finally, a solid state flow meter 
measures the ozone flow directly. Likewise, it is displayed as a TEST function. 
The M200AH displays all pressures in inches of mercury-absolute (in-Hg-A). Absolute pressure 
is the reading referenced to a vacuum or zero absolute pressure. This method was chosen so that 
ambiguities of pressure relative to ambient pressure can be avoided. 
For example, if the vacuum reading is 25" Hg relative to room pressure at sea level the absolute 
pressure would be 5" Hg. If the same absolute pressure was observed at 5000 ft altitude where 
the atmospheric pressure was 5" lower, the relative pressure would drop to 20" Hg, however the 
absolute pressure would remain the same 5" Hg-A. 
4.2.4.   Computer Hardware and Software 
The M200AH Analyzer is controlled by a micro computer. The computers' multitasking 
operating system allows it to do instrument control, monitor test points, provide analog output 
and provide a user interface via the display, keyboard and RS-232 port. These operations appear 
to be happening simultaneously but are actually done sequentially based on priority queuing 
system maintained by the operating system. The jobs are queued for execution only when 
needed, therefore the system is very efficient with computer resources. 
The M200AH is a true computer based instrument. The microprocessor does most of the 
instrument control functions such as temperature control, valve switching. Data collection and 
processing are done entirely in the CPU with the final concentration values being sent to a D/A 
converter to produce the instrument analog output. 
The computer memory is divided into 3 sections: ROM memory contains the multi-tasking 
operating system code plus the instructions that run the instrument. The RAM memory is used to 
hold temporary variables and current concentration data. The EEPROM memory contains the 
instrument set-up variables such as range and instrument ID number. The EEPROM data is non-
volatile so the instrument can lose power and the current set-up information is preserved.
