Description
A set of variables that describe how to find commonly used places in the menu
system.
Usage
These variables share data. Editing PATH causes the other variables to show their
equivalent values, and thus a set of phrases that indicate how to find places in the
menu system.

Description
NDIR and PMD only; the gain setting of the pressure transducer programmable gain
amplifier.
Usage
Allows the use of NDIR analyzers for hyperbaric applications by reducing the PGA
gain for large pressure changes. When set to 100, the analyzer can compensate for
pressure changes of the order of ± 4%; set to 10 the range is 40%, and set to 1 it is ±
400%. The former setting should be used for normal atmospheric conditions, while
the latter is useful for hyprebaric applications. The latter setting is too coarse for good
results over normal atmospheric pressure changes. If the setting is. indeed 100, the
transducer hardware offset will have to be adjusted if the analyzer is used at altitudes
higher than about 5000ft.

Description
CLD only; the value for the DAC count controlling the Peltier device temperature.
Usage
Controls the end of the peltier cool down cycle. This variable only affects the initial
cool down, editing it once the CLD is operational will not affect the current Peltier
temperature. Do not adjust this variable!
