MODEL AT3 

3 – 2 

"CALIBRATION"  Used to correlate raw data coming from the sensor to a corresponding concentration. 

Up to 16 different samples can be read by the instrument. From this information the 

instrument can construct a lookup table or perform a polynomial fit of degrees 1 to 4. 

The user can graphically plot the resulting curvefit to visually check how it corresponds 

to the samples. Samples can be edited or deactivated and curvefitting can be tried 

again quickly to improve the calibration. This menu is password protected. 

"MEASUREMENT Used to set up the parameters which affect the measurement. This includes the 

  SETUP” 

output power, detection threshold, window position and waveform adjust. This menu is 

pass word protected.

"ANALOG 

Adjusts parameters involving the instrument's control current output. These include the 

  OUTPUT” 

"ZERO", "SPAN", and "RANGE" 

"SETPOINTS"  Consists of all the parameters that can be set up to activate the four relays at certain 

conditions. Each setpoint value can have a Hysteresis, a time delay (the condition must 

be met for at least this time before the relay trips), and a mode ("HIGH" means make-

on-rise, "LOW break-on-rise).
