HOLDOFF FEATURE

The DAS

HOLDOFF

feature prevents data collection during calibration operations and

at certain times when the quality of the analyzer’s CO measurements may not be certain
(e.g. while the instrument is warming up). In this case, the length of time that the

HOLDOFF

feature is active is determined by the value of the internal variable (

VARS

),

DAS_HOLDOFF.
To set the length of the DAS_HOLDOFF period, go to the SETUP>MORE>VARS
menu (Section 5.8) and EDIT the “0) DAS_HOLD_OFF…” parameter.
To enable or disable the

HOLDOFF

feature for an individual channel, follow the

instruction shown in Section 7.1.4 then press:
