The above command configures and starts the auto range control for a NOx analyzer and places the analyzer in automatic range finding mode.

-
The auto_ctrl command manages instruments with multiple ranges, used to start and stop control, switch between fixed and automatic modes, and select ranges. It requires an auto-range specification file. Use the errs command to check for errors
