CO2 auto-zero value

In practice, you are not supposed to change the auto-zero value, as this would directly affect the internal self-calibration algorithm.

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 400ppm 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).

Set CO2 auto-zero value

This command is used by the device for CO2 measurements compensation in order to get 400ppm in fresh air. The command is described in Table 17.

Byte index	Hex Value	Meaning
0	20	The command code.
1	02
2	21	0x0221 = 545. This value is represented in ppm.
