average and standard deviation measurements for (1) the water-

vapour and (2) all the other filters. When all these values have

stabilised, calibration measurements do not need to continue.

Continue to the next Step.


4. Press

¿

.

This will cause the results of measurements made with all the

other installed filters to be displayed, for example:

A : µ : 19.34 µV σ : 212 nV 6 39.3°C

PRESS ENTER WHEN RESULTS ARE STABLE

These results have been printed out on the data-log printer. If

they have stabilised continue to the next Step.

5. Repeat step 4 until the signals measured with all the filters have

been displayed, stabilised and been “accepted”.

The text CALCULATING PLEASE WAIT appears on the screen.

The Monitor only uses the last six measurement results when

calculating any calibration factor. The humidity gain factors

calculated during humidity-interference calibration of the filters,

are a measure of the sensitivity of each filter to water-vapour in-

terference.

If any calibration data is uncertain or unacceptable an error message

(marked by an asterisk) will appear on the screen after the

calibration factors have been calculated. Whenever an asterisk is

shown on the screen further information about the condition of the

Monitor can be obtained by pressing INFO.

Chapter 13

lists all the error messages connected with uncertain

calibration results and gives an explanation of their significance so

that you can ascertain what action to take if such messages are

displayed after calibration.

12.8 Span Calibration

Before calculating the conversion factor for a filter (during span

calibration) a concentration offset factor and a humidity gain

factor must be in the filter bank which is selected for the filter

during span calibration. Span calibration of a filter can therefore only

be done after the filter has already been zero-point and humidity-

interference calibrated.
