that site’s gradient valve assembly to a corresponding inlet on the site selection assembly located near the TGA100. The
site selection assembly consists of four nonlatching three-way valves, one for each site. The outlets of the four valves
are connected to a manifold that is connected to the TGA100 sample inlet. The TGA100 controls the site selection
system using timing parameters supplied by the user. Normally each site is measured for 15 to 60 minutes before
switching to the next site.
