Calibration<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Gas</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> has default calibration settings, which allow it to be used<br />

out-of-the-box as a front-end to a PowerLab or as a stand-alone instrument.<br />

If an independent calibration is required, concentrations measured from<br />

known calibration gases can be applied in LabChart.<br />
