Patent ID: 7369945

Claim:
An apparatus for communicating and storing emissions data during the emissions measuring process comprising: a first portable light-weight human carriable device and a separate second portable light-weight human carriable device that cooperate as a single portable light-weight human carriable device; said first portable light-weight human carriable device comprising: (a) a sampling probe adapted to receive fugitive emissions; (b) a transport conduit having a first end, connected to the sampling probe, and a second end, wherein the transport conduit is configured to transport a sample of fugitive emissions from the sampling probe; (c) an emissions measuring device connected to the second end of the transport conduit, wherein the emissions measuring device is adapted to receive the sample of fugitive emissions and produce measurement data representing the sample of fugitive emissions; and (d) an adapter having a wireless transceiver operably connected to the emission measuring device, wherein the adapter is configured to transmit a signal representing the measurement data over a radio frequency by operation of the wireless transceiver; and said second portable light-weight human carriable device comprising a hand held personal data assistant having a wireless transceiver, wirelessly connected during the emissions measuring process to the adapter, wherein the personal data assistant is configured to receive the radio frequency signal representing the measurement data over the wireless connection.
