I've noticed on a couple of occassions now that when I load the plate limit into the gas analyser say 0.51, it seems to have then been reduced to 0.31. I'm not sure just yet ifd this is the computer software at work or government automatically reducing the limit each time we enter it. Can anyone else confirm this?

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Snap-On by any chance ? One of my customers had a similar issue a little while back.

No plate visible on a 65 plate Misubishi so default 0.7 limit was selected. The print out showed a plated value @ 0.42

No plate visible on a 58 plate Avensis so default 1.5 was selected. The print out showed a plated value @ 0.9

Same for a 2010 Mini - no plate visible, default 1.5 selected. The print out showed a plated value @ 0.9

The tests were dated 25th, 27th and 31st October 2022 - linked equipment commissioned when the site was first signed off @ July 2021.

Snap-On were informed & an engineer paid a vist, the AE is not sure what work was involved, but the issue was resolved.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !

Thanks stealth however this is something I've only just realised and the software update does not go back to 2021. I'll keep my eye on it and see what happens. I'm sure we talked about a percentage drop in emissions some time back and it was in the manual updates? if this is the case then is that adjustment not because of the government update in the manual?

It is indeed a fault with the equipment/software. Monitoring it over the last few days now I can see that the emissions limits do vary themselves, so I enter 0.53 but then it is tested to 0.42, or 0.38 etc. However it does not always do that, sometimes the limit remains as I put it in, so its not what I thought earlier.

It has been throwing incorrect applied values. The NTs are manually writing the plate value on. E.g. i have a 0.55 here and its applied 3.01
