MOD_TEST_TXT
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type Enumerated
Value range
Units None
Description
NDIR only; messages and instructions for the modulation test screens.
Usage
Used to show the present status of the modulation test, and to give instructions as to
what the user should do next. The MOD_TEST_xxx variables share data, they will
always contain the same value, although the phrases to which this value refers are
different for each variable.

NO_NOX
Direction Bidirectional
Binding
NO_NOX
Type Enumerated
Value range
NO; NOx
Units None
Description
CLD only; controls state of NO/NOx toggle.
Usage
When in NOx mode, allows the sample to pass through the converter. When in NO
mode, bypasses this. The variable GAS is set to whichever of setting is appropriate.

NONNETVARS
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type String
Value range
31 characters
Units None
Description
Non-volatile storage for various internal parameters.
Usage
This variable is used to store various internal parameters in EEPROM. It is not
meaningful to anyone else. Trying to read it will crash the Echelon DDE server, as it
does not contain ASCII characters necessarily.

NOSPANGAS
Direction Bidirectional
Binding
None
Type
4-element floating point array
Value range
Typically 80% of RNGHI
Units ppm
Description
CLD only; contains the value of NO span gases, element 1 containing the span gas
for range 1 etc.
Usage
During a span function, when in NO mode, the analyzer adjusts the value of SPAN for
the selected range such that the value of PVA becomes equal to the value of the
appropriate element of NOSPANGAS, to within 0.02% of the range value. This
variable should be kept updated with the current value of the span gas as shown on
the bottle label. If the bottle is of dubious quality, it may be desirable to compare its
reading with that of a known good standard, and then mark the bottle and this variable
accordingly.
