NOAA CLAP:Continuous Light Absorption Photometer
• Why bother with a new instrument?- lost data due to overloaded filters- unheated sample block- leak-prone filter holder- "black box" internal processing of PSAP
• User interface – KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)- filter change button and status indicator- flow control- primary user interface is through 'cpd' software
• Data output optimized for machine processing• Firmware can be upgraded in the field, remotely from Boulder • Characterization
- internal construction (photos)- noise vs. averaging time- LED intensity- planned open source release of drawings, schematics, code
