The water vapor compensation is ON by default and may be enabled or disabled via a host
system command.
■ BTPS: The user may want to choose whether to correct values for gas that is at body
temperature, ambient pressure and is saturated with water vapor (BTPS) or the ambient
temperature and pressure and is dry (ATPD). BTPS compensation (Body Temperature and
Pressure, Saturated) is a user-selectable compensation that accounts for the differences
between the airway sample and "deep lung" CO

The default value of Water Vapor Compensate is on. Turn it off when measuring dry
gas, such as when performing regular maintenance or measurement validation by
using dry calibrated gas.
