Parameters and Factory Defaults Linked Ventilation Parameter
C.8 Linked Ventilation Parameter
The table below lists how parameter values are affected when changing ventilation modes. For
example, ventilation modes that share the same parameters may also share the same parameter
values when changing from one ventilation mode to the other. Other parameters may have their
values set differently when changing ventilation modes.
