3.4.2 Sensor structure
The physical sensor is the sensor with the instrument or model desig-
nation, NiCaVis 705 IQ. The physical sensor processes the measure-
ment signal (absorbance spectrum) and supplies up to 5 measurement
results to the IQ S
ENSOR
N
ET
. The measurement results are adminis-
trated like 5 sensors that differ in hierarchy as follows:
Main sensor The sensor for nitrate measurement is the main sensor.
It registers on the system under the designation, NiCaVis 705 IQ and
the series number of the physical sensor.
Virtual sensors All other sensors for carbon measurement are virtual sensors.
You register on the system under the designation, NiCaVis 705 IQ and
the series number of the physical sensor.
Sensor overlapping
settings and functions
Some settings and functions are sensor overlapping. Sensor overlap-
ping settings are generally edited in the setting menu of the main sen-
sor.
These are the most important sensor overlapping settings and func-
tions:

Measuring location
 Times of the measuring cycle (
Meas. interval , Cleaning duration , Adjustment phase etc.)

Signal smoothing
Details on sensor overlapping functions are given in the following
section.
