SAMPLE MODE
This is the analyzer’s standard operating mode. In this mode the instrument is analyzing
the gas in the sample chamber, calculating CO concentration and reporting this
information to the user via the front panel display, the analog outputs and, if set up
properly, the RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet/USB ports.
4.1.1. TEST FUNCTIONS
A series of TEST functions is available for viewing at the front panel whenever the
analyzer is at the SAMPLE mode. These parameters provide information about the
present operating status of the instrument and are useful during troubleshooting (refer to
Section 11.1.2). They can also be recorded in one of the DAS channels (refer to Section
7.2) for data analysis. To view the test functions, press one of the <TST TST> buttons
repeatedly in either direction.
