):

Press PRINT and then S3.

To stop printing, press PRINT again.

12.3.2 Checking the Calibration of Each Installed Optical

Filter

A print-out of the calibration data in the Monitor’s memory is useful

to have for reference. It also enables you to find out how “old”

calibration factors compare with the “new” calibration factors

calculated during re-calibration tasks, see

section 12.3.1

.

Fig.12.4

illustrates only part of a typical calibration data print-out. To

simplify our discussion, we will confine our discussion to the

calibration data for a single optical filter installed in position “A”. Note

that there are five different filter banks, which contain calibration

data. These banks are numbered from 1 to 5. This enables each filter

to be calibrated to measure up to 5 different gases. Before the filter

is calibrated to measure any one particular gas, you have to inform

the Monitor about where you wish to store the calibration data for

this gas. The number of the filter bank chosen when operating in

Set-Up mode is called the active filter bank (see

Chapter 9

).

When checking the optical filters using the front panel push-buttons,

Chapter 10

provides details of how to obtain a print-out of calibration

data using a printer with an RS 232 interface.

Note that calibration data in the active filter bank is always printed

out directly after the optical filter factors data and this data is also

shown under the heading CALIBRATION DATA IN FILTER BANK

: X, where X is the number of the filter bank.

Note: all calibration factors are expressed as exponential numbers.

For example: 104.05E-3, this is the same as the number 104.05 x

10-3 = 0.10405
