7.4. USING THE M300E/EM ANALYZER’S ANALOG OUTPUTS. 
The M300E/EM Analyzer comes equipped with four analog outputs.   
  The first two outputs (A1 & A2) carry analog signals that represent the currently measured concentration 
of CO (see Section 6.6.2).   
  The third output (A3) is only active if the analyzer is equipped with one of the optional 2
nd
 gas sensors (e.g. 
O
2
 or CO
2
). 
  The fourth output (A4) outputs a signal that can be set to represent the current value of one of several test 
functions (see Table 7-10). 
 
7.4.1. ACCESSING THE ANALOG OUTPUT SIGNAL CONFIGURATION

CHANNEL 
FUNCTION 
MANUAL 
SECTION 
AOUT 
CALIBRATED 
ALL 
Initiates a calibration of the A1A2, A3 and A4 analog output 
channels that determines the slope and offset inherent in the 
circuitry of each output.  
These values are stored and applied to the output signals by 
the CPU automatically. 
CONC_OUT_1
 
A1 
Sets the basic electronic configuration of the A1 output (CO 
Concentration).   
There are four options: 
  RANGE
1
:  Selects the signal type (voltage or current loop) 
and level of the output. 
  REC OFS: Allows them input of a DC offset to let the user 
manually adjust the output level. 
  AUTO CAL: Enables / Disables the AOUT CALIBRATED 
feature. 
  CALIBRATED: Performs the same calibration as AOUT 
CALIBRATED, but on this one channel only.   
CONC_OUT_2
 
A2 
  Same as for CONC_OUT_1 but for analog channel A2
CONC_OUT_3
 
A3 
  Same as for CONC_OUT_1 but for analog channel A3 but 
only if either the optional O
2
 or CO
2
 sensors are installed. 
TEST OUTPUT
 
A4 
  Same as for CONC_OUT_1 but for analog channel A4 
(TEST CHANNEL). 
AIN 
CALIBRATED 
N/A
 
Initiates a calibration of the A-to-D Converter circuit located on 
the Motherboard. 
Any changes made to RANGE or REC_OFS require recalibration of this output.
