Zero/Span/Purge Duration
Minutes
The Zero Duration Minutes screen defines how long zero air is sampled by
the instrument. The span and purge duration screens look and function the
same way as the zero duration screen, and are used to set how long the span
gas and sample gas are sampled by the instrument. Durations between 0 and
60 minutes are acceptable. Each time a zero/span check occurs the zero
check is done first, followed by the span check. To perform just a zero check,
set the span and purge duration screen to 0 (off). The same applies to
perform just a span or purge check.
• In the Main Menu, choose Calibration > Zero/Span Check > Zero,
Span or Purge Duration Min.
• Use and to increment and decrement the numeric value.
•Press to save the duration value.

averaging times are available: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, and
