Abstract
A sampling system controller includes a control unit for interfacing with a collection chamber module having a plurality of sampling chambers. The control unit controls the times at which the sampling chambers acquire samples of a fluid flow and control flow rates into the sampling chambers. The timing of the sampling chambers and the flow rates may be programmed by a user. The control unit measures the flow rate of the fluid flow to be sampled and controls the flow rate through each sampling chamber. The flow rates through the fluid flow and through the sampling chambers are recorded on a data module. The control unit may be equipped with a portable weather station and with a global positioning system. The weather and location information may be recorded on the data module. The flow rates through the sampling chambers are controlled by a flow assembly that is easily removed and replaced.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 24 April 1998 (24.04.98); new claims 48-53 added; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)] 47. The service module as set forth in claim 39, wherein the controller generates control signals for programming a sampling rate for the sampling system.
48. The sampling system as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a data module for collecting data during the sampling of the fluid flow and wherein the data is capable of being retrieved during the sampling of the fluid flow.
49. The sampling system as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a data module for collecting data during the sampling of the fluid flow and wherein the data module is removable from the sampling system.
50. The sampling system as set forth in claim 6, wherein the control unit controls the valves so that the first set of collection chambers receives portions of the fluid flow while at least one collection chamber in the second set of collection chambers is being serviced.
51. The sampling system as set forth in claim 50, wherein the controls the valves while the at least one collection chamber in the second set of collection chambers is being removed.
52. The sampling system as set forth in claim 24, further comprising a data module for collecting data while the sample of the fluid flow is being obtained and wherein the data is capable of being retrieved during sampling of the fluid flow.
53. The sampling system as set forth in claim 24, further comprising a data module for collecting data while the sample of the fluid flow is being obtained and wherein the data module is removable from the sampling system.
