Theory of Operation
It is often necessary to correct the CO
2
mole fraction for differences in water
vapor mole fraction in sample and reference cells when CO
2
and water vapor
are measured together. An apparent CO
2
mole fraction difference will
develop if water vapor is added to or removed from either air stream whether
a net CO
2
flux is present or not. This dilution effect can be removed when
the Vapor Flag (FCT 76) is set to

It is important to distinguish the different water corrections that can be
applied in the LI-6262. The Vapor Flag (FCT 76) can be in one of three
states:
0 - Corrections Off:
No pressure broadening or dilution corrections are
applied.
1 - Band Broadening:
A pressure broadening correction is applied, but no
dilution correction is performed. The actual CO
2
mole fraction in the sample
cell or the actual CO
2
differential is displayed.

Ref:
Both a pressure broadening and a dilution
correction are applied. The sample cell CO
2
mole fraction and the CO
2
differential are corrected for differences in sample and reference air stream
water vapor contents. This is the appropriate setting for photosynthesis
measurements.
NOTE
: This is the default setting when the system is
configured at the factory, or when the system is reset (FCT 08).

Sometimes a CO
2
differential must be measured when the reference CO
2
mole fraction is not precisely known. For example, one might be measuring
photosynthesis in the field with ambient air as the reference gas, the exact
CO
2
mole fraction of which is not known. One could scrub the reference
cell and measure the incoming CO
2
concentration in absolute mode.
However, there will be a small zero shift when the reference gas is reduced
from around 350 ppm to 0 ppm, so a zero adjustment must be made each
