Subject: Re: Homemade 02 analyzers
Christopher,

Every panel meter has some degree of minor error.  I think OMS uses a meter
with a +/- 0.1% error and all others that I am aware of have a +/- 0.5%
error.  Do the math, not much difference.

The most commonly used panel meter for home built O2 meters is the PM 128
(+/- 0.5% error).  Another panel meter that is used for home building is the
DVB3500B and I believe it has a +/- 0.1% error rate.  Digi-Key also makes
some really nice, compact digital panel meters ... they are about 1/3 the
size of the typical meter.  I think they run a +/- 0.2% error.

The sensors also have error, the norm is within1% of full scale at constant
temp and pressure for most sensors.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Patrick
