Gas detector device accessory identification and analysis

A system, comprising:

• a gas detection device comprising a housing, a control system comprising a processor system and a memory system in communicative connection with the processor system, one or more gas sensors within the housing in communicative connection with the control system, wherein each of the one or more gas sensors is independently responsive to a gas analyte, an inlet via which gas to be sampled from an environment enters the housing to come into contact with the one or more gas sensors, and a pump system in fluid connection with the inlet and in fluid connection with the one or more gas sensors, and
• an accessory device identification system in communicative connection with the control system of the gas detection device, wherein the accessory device identification system is configured to receive data including identification data for at least one of (i) each of one or more associated accessory devices or (ii) an associated combination of accessory devices configured to be placed in fluid connection with the inlet of the gas detection device, the accessory device identification system further being configured to identify at least one of (i) each of the one or more associated accessory devices or (ii) the associated combination of accessory devices from the identification data received.
