). By combining direct NO measurements with highly efficient gas phase titration (GPT), the N500 converts and measures the NO sample gas component as NO , thus allowing for the measurement of total NOx. Furthering its accuracy and dependability is an auto-reference cycle to account and compensate for any potential baseline drift in the measured loss, that may be caused by varying environmental conditions. -

NO and NO readings). AUTOREF In Auto Reference mode. Briefly summarized, the Model N500 analyzer first measures NO directly by way of optical absorption to yield a true reading of NO concentration. Next, it uses a precisely- timed pulsation to mix the sample with an excessive concentration of O... -
