auto_ctrl<\/strong> NOx +start +a
\nThe above command configures and starts the auto range control for a NOx analyzer and places the analyzer in automatic range finding mode.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Notes:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

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<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
