IRGASON® Integrated CO2/H2O Open-Path Gas Analyzer and 3D Sonic Anemometer 7.1 Factory Defaults TABLE 7-1 shows the default value for each setting described in the following sections. TABLE 7-1. Factory Default Settings Bandwidth 20 Hz SDM Address 1 Unprompted Output disabled RS-485 baud rate 115200 bps Unprompted Output Rate 10 Hz Analog Output disabled ECMon Update Rate 10 Hz Temperature Sensor Auto-Select (IRGASON Temp Sensor) Pressure Sensor EC100 Basic or EC100 Enhanced (depending on order) Pressure Differential Enable Auto-Select (Disabled for IRGASON) Heater Control Disabled 7.2 Bandwidth The EC100 has a user-selectable low-pass filter to select the bandwidth (5, 10, 12.5, 20, or 25 Hz). Setting the bandwidth to a lower value will reduce noise. However, it must be set high enough to retain the high-frequency fluctuations in CO2 and H2O, or else the high frequency contributions to the flux will be lost. The factory default bandwidth of the EC100 is 20 Hz, which is sufficient for most flux applications. Lower bandwidth settings may be used for higher measurement heights, which inherently have lower-frequency content. Refer to Appendix A, Filter Bandwidth and Time Delay, for more information on the digital filter options. If a spectral analysis is being done to evaluate the experimental setup, the bandwidth should be set to the Nyquist frequency, which is half the datalogger sample rate (for SDM output) or half the unprompted output rate (for USB and RS-485 output). This ensures that the data will not be under-sampled and that higher-frequency variations will not be aliased to lower frequencies. Note that if too small a bandwidth is selected, high-frequency fluxes may be undermeasured. 7.3 SDM Address This parameter must be set to use SDM output from the EC100. See Section 8.1, SDM Output, for details on using SDM output. Each SDM device on the SDM bus must have a unique address. The IRGASON has a factory default SDM address of 1, but it may be changed to 16

7.2
Bandwidth
The EC100 has a user-selectable low-pass filter to select the bandwidth (5, 10,
12.5, 20, or 25 Hz).
Setting the bandwidth to a lower value will reduce noise.
However, it must be set high enough to retain the high-frequency fluctuations
in CO
2
and H
2
O, or else the high frequency contributions to the flux will be
lost.
The factory default bandwidth of the EC100 is 20 Hz, which is sufficient
for most flux applications.
Lower bandwidth settings may be used for higher
measurement heights, which inherently have lower-frequency content.
Refer
to Appendix A,
Filter Bandwidth and Time Delay
, for more information on the
digital filter options.
If a spectral analysis is being done to evaluate the experimental setup, the
bandwidth should be set to the Nyquist frequency, which is half the datalogger
sample rate (for SDM output) or half the unprompted output rate (for USB and
RS-485 output).
This ensures that the data will not be under-sampled and that
higher-frequency variations will not be aliased to lower frequencies.
Note that
if too small a bandwidth is selected, high-frequency fluxes may be under-
measured.
7.3
SDM Address
This parameter must be set to use SDM output from the EC100.
See Section
8.1,
SDM Output
, for details on using SDM output.
Each SDM device on the SDM bus must have a unique address.
The
IRGASON has a factory default SDM address of 1, but it may be changed to
