Select algorithm

mode : AUTO

There are two ways to linearize:

AUTO and MANUAL: The auto mode

requires as many calibration gases as there will be correction points along the
curve. The user decides on the number of points, based on the precision re-
quired.

The manual mode only requires entering the values for each correction

point into the microprocessor via the front panel buttons. Again, the number of
points required is determined by the user.

Note: Before performing section 4.8.2 or 4.8.2.3, you must check to

ensure that your calibration gases or points are between low
end and high end of the range setup. All correction points
must be between Zero and Span concentrations. Do not enter
Zero and Span points as part of the correction.

4.8.2.2 Manual Mode Linearization

To linearize manually, you must have previous knowledge of the nonlinear

thermal-conductivity characteristics of your gases. You enter the value of the
differential between the actual concentration and the apparent concentration
(analyzer output). Analytical Instruments has tabular data of this type for a large
number of gases, which it makes available to customers on request. See Appen-
dix for ordering information. To enter data:

The data entry screen resembles the verify screen, but the gas values can

be modified and the data-point number cannot. Use the
