The toxic gas read-out may be given in full parts-
per-million (PPM) increments, or in tenths of parts-
per-million (0.1 PPM) increments. If the decimal
point is enabled, 0.1 PPM increments will be shown
during normal operation for the specified toxic. If
the decimal point is disabled readings will be shown
in full part per million increments. If the decimal
point is enabled readings will be shown in 0.1 part
per million increments.
Pressing the “+” button changes the setting.
