Apex Instruments, Inc. software

The Apex Instruments specifically engineered firmware (embedded software) has been designed to utilize the technical features of the RISC based Microchip microcontrollers. RISC microcontrollers provide decision making as well as precise “autonomous” control of the console while the laptop or PC is not connected. Microcontroller Hex code is easily updated in the field with a simple executable program and a programming interface cable which allows for continued enhancements and upgrades of the product.

The HgCalc Software uses sample run data and trap analysis. The sample run data from the MercSampler™ XC-6000 is imported into the application, where total mercury mass, hourly and total mercury emissions are calculated. The software insures the specifications in 40CFR, part 75 are met. The software will also verify QA/QC specifications regarding Section 2 breakthrough, relative deviation, and Section 3 spike recovery as shown in Appendix K, table K-1.
