Abstract:
A method of communicating calibration information from an infrared gas sensor (200) includes the step of modulating infrared or visible light from an infrared energy source (230) in a manner that corresponds to calibration information to be transmitted from the sensor (200) through a transmissive section (250) in the sensor housing . Infrared energy from the infrared energy source (230) , which is within the housing of the sensor, also interacts with an analyte in a manner detectable by at least one detector (236a, 236b) within the housing.
Abstract:
A closed path infrared sensor includes an enclosure, a first energy source within the enclosure, at least a second energy source within the enclosure, at least one detector system within the enclosure and a mirror system external to the enclosure and spaced from the enclosure. The mirror system reflects energy from the first energy source to the at least one detector system via a first analytical path and reflects energy from the second energy source to the at least one detector system via a second analytical path. Each of the first analytical path and the second analytical path are less than two feet in length.
