Measurement Technology Codes

The measurement_technology_code categorizes the physical journey of an air sample from acquisition to the final analytical signal using a flexible, "building block" taxonomy.

Rather than relying on an exhaustive list of every possible instrument brand or configuration, you construct an 8-to-14 character code by selecting the specific functional steps your measurement system utilizes: [Acquisition] - [Conditioning] - [Detection].

For detailed rules on how to classify complex setups, please refer to the Field Dictionary.
