The e-corder can be connected to a Figaro sensor to record gas concentration.

Introduction

Figaro Engineering manufacture a range of sensors for measuring different gasses. The e-corder can provide the 5 V required to power the sensor and measure the signal produced. The Chart software is used to calibrate and monitor the signal. The gas concentration is displayed in real time as in Figure 1.

Equipment Required
