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. (See also Section 5.9.5).
