Info.
The Info. Box contains information about the SimuGas Auto Event Time, Status and Time & Date
of the Transmitter with which SITE is communicating.
The
SimuGas Auto Event Time
is the time when the next SimuGas Auto test is scheduled to be
performed automatically by the Transmitter.
The Status descriptor provides information upon the operational status of the Transmitter.
Ordinarily, the Transmitter status should be ‘system running’, which means that the laser diode(s)
of the Transmitter are correctly locked up on their respective target gas(es) - ready for the
detection of gas should any enter the beam-path. During execution of the start-up and laser
locking procedures, the status descriptor provides information as to where the Transmitter is within
these procedures.
