12.5. Taking Measurements

Allow circa 5 minutes settling time before taking measurements to allow the sensor to warm up.
Note: Samples should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature prior to attempting
measurements, this step is especially important when using the x0.1 range.
Check that the sensor is functioning correctly by performing a calibration check using the 1cc
check sample located on the side of the sensor. The value obtained should be within 1% of the
stated value.
When measuring on the x1.0 range, first press 'Z' and measure 'air'. Then insert the vial and
obtain its value by pressing 'M'.
When measuring on the x0.1 range, take three measurements by pressing 'M': first to 'air', then
with the sample, and then to 'air' again. Record the three values obtained. The drift corrected
value will be equal to the sample value minus the average of the two 'air' values.
