LDS6
Designed for use with LDSComm operating software. The LDS6 uses single-line molecular absorption spectroscopy. A diode laser emits a beam of near infrared light through the gas and is detected by a receiver. The diode is tuned to a specific gas absorption and the laser continuously scans this absorption line. This device can measure one or two gas components.
