NOTE: This option is for use by SSCL only and is password protected. 
It is used to set the Flammable gas reading, corrected for Propane, when 
using a propane sensor.  
 
 
Use the       keys Select the desired flammable gas and select ENTER 
The current correction factor is then displayed above the gas name.

There is also a User Defined option to cater for any flammable gases not on 
the list which have a usable propane response. The correction factor (and
