1 Introduction 1 Introduction 1 Introduction 1 Introduction 1 Introduction The 3160 features six full-scale linear ranges of analysis: 0–1 PPM 0–10 PPM 0–100 PPM 0–1000 PPM 0–1% 0–25% An AutoRanging feature automatically selects the range that is appropriate for a given reading. For example, if the O level exceeds 100% of the current range, the 2 analyzer switches to the next higher range. When desired, a manual override feature allows a particular range of interest to be locked
