The CIRAS-2 contains numerous sensors to measure CO

O, leaf environment, signals from external
probes and gas flow through the instrument. The
Diagnostics
function collects the signals from each of
these sensors and summarizes them. The result is a simple text file that can be faxed or e-mailed to PP
Systems. This can then be compared with our factory records to identify any changes in the system.
There are 6 different dialogs associated with Diagnostics:
