Setting Up Gas Analysis

To use Gas Analysis, you’ll first need to setup analyte rules and the analyte types they consist of.

Analyte Types are the individual analytes, or tests, that you use to validate a gas fill. Think oxygen concentration, odor present, or moisture content. You should set these up before creating any Analyte Rules.

Creating Analyte Types

Analyte Rules are one or more Analyte Types used to validate a specific gas product. Think of these as the set of test results you collect when validating that a gas fill is up to specification.
