# CO2 measurement settings

## CO2 measurement blind time

When you press the button on the device it sends a CO2 readout. There is a period after each press that subsequent button presses are ignored in.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="SET" %}
When CO2 measurement is started by button press, for the given blind time next start by button press will be forbidden.

This command sets the the measuring blind time in minutes

{% tab title="GET" %}
When CO2 measurement is started by button press, for the given blind time next start by button press will be forbidden.

This command gets the currently set value in minutes.

## CO2 auto-zero value

{% hint style="info" %}
In practice, you are not supposed to change the auto-zero value, as this would directly affect the internal self-calibration algorithm.&#x20;

\
You can get the CO2 auto-zero value in order to check whether normal calibration has worked correctly - e.g. expected values are in the range 0-1500ppm. If you see value of e.g. 20000, please use the SET function to set it back to 0ppm and leave the sensor at fresh air for at least 1.2xMeasurement intervals (if you are using default settings, expose the sensor to fresh air for at least 15 minutes).
{% endhint %}

This command set is used by the device for CO2 measurements compensation in order to get 400ppm in fresh air.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="SET" %}
Set the auto-zero value.

## CO2 auto-zero period

Default auto-zero period, after the factory auto-zeroing, is 192 hours (8 days). During this period the lowest measured CO2 value is accepted as 400ppm and the auto-zero value is obtained automatically. If The period is 0, automatic auto-zero function is disabled, but the obtained or set with command auto-zero value is still used internally.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="SET" %}
Set the auto-zero period.
