The system performs averaging of the analysis results during shiploading and unloading and also performs the additional calculations of gas quality specified in the GII GNL LNG Custody Transfer Handbook.

8 The results are integrated with operator en-tered information and generates a loading/un-loading report. The report can be displayed and printed or the information may be saved for lat-er access. Historical data saved in this manner can be recalled for display, editing and print-ing. Results of individual analyses are saved and can be recalled for display or printing. Ad-ditionally, the analysis in progress at the time of manual sample acquisition can be identified by the operator, and a volume (loaded or un-loaded) associated with the results. These re-sults are available for display or printing during the loading INTRODUCTION_____GCDARS for Shiploading/Unloading Operations ManualIntroduction to GCDARSSEP RequirementsThis system will execute on standard Pentium-based PC running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or XP.
