SRC – Termination Settings (Step 3)
The Termination settings (DT, DC) as well as delay are defined in this screen. These settings define the

and will terminate when either the elapsed time reaches the DT value, or when the total change in CO
2
exceeds a specified threshold (DC), whichever occurs first.
