01Measurement position
Must the measurement happen in the process stream or inside the host instrument?
This decision establishes the gas path, response chain, maintenance access and the responsibilities of the surrounding equipment.
Compare the two product structures
02Gas and range
Which gas and concentration range must the equipment measure?
The target gas, optical band, path length and expected background composition define the measurement platform.
Understand the platform architecture
03Operating envelope
What pressure, temperature, moisture and flow conditions will the finished module see?
These conditions determine compensation, materials, packaging and the validation plan.
Define the pressure envelope
04Certification configuration
Which market, industry and installation environment will the product enter?
The applicable route is translated into a defined electrical, mechanical and documentation configuration before the design is frozen.
Plan the certification route
