6. To change the calibration values, use the command line interface. 

Use the following parameters to adjust internal gas measurements:

co_span

no2_span

o3_span

so2_span

co_zero

no2_zero

o3_zero

so2_zero

The span adjustment is proportional and is represented as a percentage value, which
can vary between 

1

 ... 

255

 (default = 

100

). The zero adjustment is an absolute value in

ppb and it is added after span adjustment. The zero values can vary between

-10000

 ... 

10000

. Use the 

show

 command to read the concurrent values before using

the 

set

 command to replace them. If AQT400 has an offset adjustment (zero value

other than 

0

), take the old value in count before setting a new one. This also applies to

span values.

7. Use the 

write

 

--really

 command to save the new adjustments.

8. Use the 

show

 

health

 command to check the health status of AQT400. The output is a

percentage value (0 ... 100 %). If the health value is below 

20

, contact Vaisala technical

support.
