CRUDE_NOISE
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type Floating
point
Value range
0 - 100, typically
Units ppm
Description
Shows the current noise level
Usage
Calculated by the analyzer module, this shows the standard deviation of the signal,
as long as a significant slope to the signal is not detected. In other words it is only
meanignful when the signal is stable. It is expressed in ppm, as if it were a reading.

Value range
1-99
Units Percent
Description
NDIR only; shows the current setting of the signal gain digital potentiometer.
Usage
Used to report this setting, as opposed to the variable that sets it.

Value range

Units Amps
Description
NDIR only; measured source current.
Usage
Measures the current through the IR sources. This should be about 1 amp, more
(about 1.24 amps) for long cell benches (such as low level CO) and less for short
benches such as high level C02 (typically 0.85 amps). Excessive source current will
stress the detector causing the response to jump unpredictably. A source current
that is too low will reduce the sensitivity of the bench, increasing noise and drift. This
is set at the factory, and should not be lightly adjusted.

Units Amps
Description
NDIR only; historical source current.
Usage
Shows the value of source current at manufacturing check out time. This is
automatically written by the manufacturing data storage function, and it should not be
over-written.
