Two Point Adjustment

To perform a two point adjustment of CO

2

measurement using I

2

C

protocol, you must perform the following sequence:

1.

Using the Adjust command, start 2 point adjustment for CO

2

.

2.

Supply the low concentration CO

2

reference gas to the sensor and

wait for three minutes until the measurement has stabilized.

3.

Using the Adjust command, record the first measured point and
give the first reference value.

4.

Supply the high concentration CO

2

reference gas to the sensor and

wait for three minutes until the measurement has stabilized.

5.

Using the Adjust command, record the second measured point and
give the second reference value.

6.

Use the Adjust command to end the adjustment.

Data Registers

The register table describes all available parameters and their properties.
The properties are: parameter meaning, ID, name, data type, length and
persistence. Persistence defines if the parameter is saved in eeprom (non-
volatile memory) or in RAM. Make sure not to write excessively to the
eeprom, as it has a maximum lifetime of approximately 30000 cycles.
