... , samples are collected using an innovative autosampling device consisting of long probes that draw a sample from infantry equipment into a nearby building for rapid analysis using spectrophotometry. This system provides advantages in terms of near-real-time analysis but also introduces variables in the sampling process, including sample-line loss and timing issues.

... Direct-reading instruments can provide data transfer to a laptop computer. With some programming, it may be possible to have data automatically uploaded to spreadsheet-type software that would be able to calculate the carboxyhemoglobin levels corresponding to any desired averaged exposure as well as to a hazard index.
