The Custom Ranges screen is used to define the custom ranges.
The display shows the current custom range. The next line of the display is
used to set the range. To use the custom full-scale range, be sure to select it
(Custom range 1, 2, or 3) in the NO, NO

The Averaging Time defines a time period (10 to 300 seconds) over which
NO, NO
2
, and NO
x
measurements are taken. The average concentration of
the NO, NO
2
, and NO
x
readings are calculated for that time period. The
front panel display and analog outputs are updated every 10 seconds for
averaging times between 10 and 300 seconds. An averaging time of 10
seconds, for example, means that the average concentration of the last 10
seconds will be output at each update. An averaging time of 300 seconds
means that the moving average concentration of the last 300 seconds will
be output at each update. Therefore, the lower the averaging time the faster
the front panel display and analog outputs respond to concentration
changes. Longer averaging times are typically used to smooth output data.
The Averaging Time screen for the single range mode is shown below. In
the dual and auto range modes, an Averaging Time Menu is displayed
before the averaging time screens. This additional menu is needed because
