ECOM Raises the Bar on Data Acquisition Software for Emission Testing

ECOM America, a global leader in portable emission analyzers, has just introduced an advanced version of their DAS software for fast, yet comprehensive testing and analysis. 08/10/06 -- PRINT

GAINESVILLE, GA – ECOM America, a global leader in portable emission  analyzers, has just introduced an advanced version of their DAS software for fast, yet comprehensive testing and analysis. 

Last year, ECOM launched a revolutionary Data Acquisition Software enabling emission testing operators to input engine function parameters, fuel analysis, fuel consumption, and air permit information, when utilizing ECOM analyzers.  This original proprietary system delivered real time mass emission calculations and simple, yet complete report generation.

Now, emission testers have even more control of the process with additional features designed to make testing and reporting easier still.

“We offer User Defined Protocols”, states ECOM president Drew Wilson.  “While all calculations and general requirements of a testing protocol are part of our software, the latest version of ECOM DAS allows the user to customize the test procedure to meet local agency requirements or inter-company parameters that vary from EPA CTM-030/-034 standards.”

Data base management has also been enhanced and more easily accessed.  All test reports, regardless of protocol customization, will be produced on a standard form to improve inter-company and multi-state reporting.  PC displayed information is now easier to view and customize through the use of a new graphic interface and real-time strip chart. 

ECOM America designs and markets advanced portable emission analyzers worldwide in the power, mining and transportation industries.  ECOM is based in Gainesville, Georgia.
