8.3 Control Gas Sampling Based on Time – CR1000
The SDM-CD8S is ideal for controlling low power DC operated solenoid 
valves such as might be used to control a manifold as part of a gas sampling 
system. This example shows one way to do that. 
8.3.1 Terminology
Site: A site may be the physical site where the air is sampled (i.e. intake or 
chamber) or a connection to a calibration gas. Each site has a unique 
SDMCD8S/valve setting that configures the manifold to connect gas from that 
site to the sample path of the gas analyzer. There are 8 connections to the “site 
selection” manifold. The numbers 1 through 8 identify the sites. The site 
numbers are the same as the number of the intake on the manifold and the 
number of the SDMCD8S relay controlling that valve. Sites 1 – 6 are 
connected to sample intakes to measure a atmospheric profile and sites 7 and 8 
are used for calibration gases. 
Site Sequence: The sequence in which the sites are measured is determined 
by the SiteSequence array. The sites are measured in the sequence that the site 
numbers are entered in this array, not necessarily in order of site number. 
The SiteSequence array also allows a site to be measured multiple times within 
the sequence. For some measurements it is necessary to measure calibration 
gases frequently (e.g., the concentration of various isotopes of CO
2
with a trace
gas analyzer.)
