Data recovery function allows selective or full restoration, eliminating concerns over accidental data loss
Automatic zero tracking prevents long-term drift effects.
Multi-level target point calibration ensures measurement linearity and accuracy compliant with both national standards and local metrology bureau requirements.
Automatic detection and prevention of incorrect concentration calibration operations to avoid human-induced errors.
Supports real-time or scheduled detection (for low gas concentrations), with pump shutdown during non-detection periods to extend operational lifespan.
Records calibration logs, maintenance logs, and troubleshooting measures. Includes sensor lifespan alerts and next calibration schedule reminders.
