ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring the concentration of a radiation-absorbing agent in a gas mixture features circuitry for automatically calibrating the device according to a reference gas mixture. An error detector compares the transmittivity of the reference gas mixture, as determined by a photometer, to a reference current determined by Beer's Law. The error signal thus generated is provided to a sample and hold circuit which includes a digital counting circuit and a digital-to-analog converter. The output of the sample and hold circuit causes the drive current supplied to the radiation source of the photometer to be adjusted to automatically calibrate the device.
