Appendix B.3. Adding/Modifying Gas Concentration Value Engineering Units

The configuration CSV file can be used to modify the table of engineering units that is hard coded into the driver. This table is presented in Appendix A.3

Add a section to the configuration file which is similar to the following example.

In the example below the Units specified is ‘PPM’, an entry from the existing list. When the driver finds the lines below, it will update the index value to 20.

// Change index value of existing unit to 20.

Appendix B.4. Adding / Modifying Hard Coded Gas Names

When a gas concentration is reported, the driver reports the gas name by looking up the gas name in a list of hard coded gas names. When a match is found the driver stores the associated index value. The table may be modified/extended in the configuration CSV file. The table of names and index values is provided in Appendix A.1

Add a section to the configuration file which is similar to the text found in the examples below.

In the example below the gas name specified is ‘H2’, an entry from the existing list. When the driver finds the lines below, it will update the index value to 20.

// Change index value of existing gas to 20.
