Gas Monitor Display / Averaging Period (3434i stand-alone use):
this enables you to decide if instantaneous values or averaged values
are displayed on the gas monitors screen.
If average values are desired, then the example below illustrates
how the values are calculated and displayed.
Let us suppose that the Monitor has been taking measurements
every 2.5 min., over a period of 30 min., of gas A Sulphur
hexafluoride and the following results (un-shaded area) were
obtained and recorded in the display memory, for stand-alone
users.
A: Sulphur hexafluoride

Let us suppose that the averaging period was set to 10 min. When
the above measurement results are displayed on the screen and
the averaging function is activated then each measurement will be
averaged over the previous 10 min. and the averaged
measurement results will replace the individual measurement
results (averaged results are shown in the shaded area in the list
above). For example: measurement number 7 would be 616.9
mg/m
3
. This is the average of the 5 measurements taken in the
10 min. period ending at 11:57:30. Measurement number 12
would be 1.904 g/m
3
which is the average of the 5 measurements
taken in the 10 min. period ending at 12:12:00.
The range of acceptable values and the default value of the
averaging period are shown in
