TARGETMETHOD
Direction Bidirectional
Binding
None
Type String
Value range
31 characters
Units None
Description
Unused.
Usage
This was supposed to be the desired parameter set into which to copy the current
parameter set. This feature has not been implemented in version 2.2, and in fact has
been overtaken by the PC interface developments. No internal use is made of this
variable.

TEMP_IS
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type
NDIR and PMD: 2-element floating point array; FID and CLD: 3-element floating point
array; HFID: 5-element floating point array
Value range
See below.
Units C
Description
Internal temperature measurements.
Case temperature (NDIR, PMD, FID), Converter temperature (CLD).
Detector temperature (NDIR, PMD), Flame temperature (FID), Sensor block
temperature (CLD).
Peltier device temperature (CLD), Preamp temperature (FID).
Sample temperature (HFID).
Oven temperature (HFID).
Usage
Real time temperature measurements. The meaning varies with each analyzer, see
above. In the NDIR and PMD the detector temperature is critical, at 61.5
°
C. In the
CLD, the converter is set to an optimum temperature based on a converter efficiency
test, typically about 350
°
C. The sensor block in the CLD is critical at 51.5
°
C, and the
Peltier temperature is also critical at 0
°
C. The FID flame temperature has to be above
115
°
C for the flame to be considered to be on, and the preamp temperature is less
critical, although it is normally about 55
°
C.

Description
Historical value of internal temperature measurements:
Case temperature (NDIR, PMD, FID), Converter temperature (CLD)
Detector temperature (NDIR, PMD), Flame temperature (CLD).
Peltier device temperature (CLD), Preamp temperature FID).
Sample temperature (HFID).
Oven temperature (HFID).
Usage
These are the values of the internal temperature readings at manufacturing check out
time.
