PRESS_COEFF
Direction Bidirectional
Binding
PRESS_COEFF
Type
4-element floating point array.
Value range
-3000 to +3000
Units hPa
Description
NDIR only; pressure compensation offset values for each range
Usage
For hyperbaric applications, the NDIR pressure compensation algorithm needs an
offset term to work satisfactorily over the wide pressure variations required. This term
varies for different ranges and different background gases, and is experimentally
determined.

PROCESS
Type Enumerated
Value range
NORMAL; NOT FROM PROCESS; etc.
Units None
Description
Tells the analyzer that another module is not allowing the measurement sample to
flow for some reason
Usage
Shows the analyzer that its measurement is invalid, because it is not measuring
process gas. For example, a sample system controller may be flowing a calibration
gas, or purging a system with air or nitrogen.
