Abstract

A method for measuring NOx having a specific discharge lamp. The method controls a photometric analysis device, in which an electrically rotatable filter wheel or shutter wheel is used to change various shutters and/or filters in a beam path with beam source, cuvette and detector. The filter and/or shutter wheel is controlled in such a way that the measurement time is greater than the transfer time. This control improves the detection limit of the NOx resonance absorption method.
