Dear CO2 team,
During the testing of the CO2 sensor I noticed an increased noise figure of the sensor.
Below approximately 620 ppm the noise figure increases. I have no idea why.
All sensors are placed in an temperature controlled chamber.
In the picture you can see 4 lines:
Red = PASCO2 sensor A, interfaced via I2C with our own electronics (interval 5 [s])
Blue = PASCO2 sensor B, interfaced via USB with the evaluation board (interval 10 [s] ?)
Green = SCD41 sensor (Sensirion), interfaced via I2C (interval 5 [s])
Cyan = 415 [ppm] (outside air)
In the bottom graph you can see the difference between successive measurements which we use as a noise figure.
Why is this sensor displaying this behaviour? and how can I resolve this issue?
Kind regards,
Martin

Hallo sir, can you please share some more details on your setting. For reading out, which mode are you using? Single shot mode or continuous mode of operation?
Best regards,

Dear Adib,
We are using the continuous mode with a measurement rate of 5 seconds.
This behaviour disappears with a measurement rate of 10 seconds or more.
Kind regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
One of the sensor documents states the sampling rate should be greater than or at least 10s to insure the IR emitter is "cooled down" completely. Otherwise I would assume the measurement includes some "residue" from the previous one. Your charts are showing nice readings when the sampling (measurement) rate is >= 10s.

Hello mht,
Personally I think this should me made more clearly in the datasheet.
Why would this be an issue below 620 ppm and not above?
