2) On the 

Units Conversion

 window, make sure 

Apply units to the next 

recorded block

 and 

Apply units to all blocks

 are selected in the menu under 

the displayed graph on the left side of the window by putting a check mark in 
the boxes next to each statement.

3) Move the two left hand cursors to the flat line area where room air values were 

recorded. Leave a space between the cursors so that you have an average 
value being calculated while room air was moving into the GA-200 gas 
analyzer.

4) Move the two right hand cursors to the flat line area where the gas sample 

values were recorded. Leave a space between the cursors so that you have an 
average value being calculated while the gas sample was moving into the GA-
200 gas analyzer.

5) Notice that the voltages from the positions between the cursors are 

automatically entered into the value equations. Enter the two concentrations of 
carbon dioxide measured from the two samples in the corresponding boxes on 
the right side of the conversion equations. 

Using room air, the concentration of CO

2

 = 0.04%.

The second gas concentration will be the one from the gas cylinder. 
Generally a 5% CO

concentration is recommended.

6)

Enter the name of the units, 

%

, in the box below the concentrations.

7)

Click 

OK

.

The Advanced Units Conversion dialog window with the voltages between the 
cursors set to equal the concentrations used in calibration.

8) Repeat Steps 1 through 5 on the 

Expired O2 Concentration (%)

 channel.

• 

Room air = 20.9%

• 

Second gas concentration will be the one from the gas cylinder. Generally a 
12% O

concentration is recommended.
