9.6.1. DARK CALIBRATION TEST
The dark calibration test interrupts the signal path between the IR photo-detector and the remainder of the
sync/demod board circuitry. This allows the instrument to compensate for any voltage levels inherent in the
sync/demod circuitry that might effect the calculation of CO concentration.
Performing this calibration returns two offset voltages, one for CO MEAS and one for CO REF that are
automatically added to the CPU’s calculation routine. The two offset voltages from the last calibration procedure
may be reviewed by the user via the front panel display.
To activate the dark calibration procedure or review the results of a previous calibration, press:
