Since it is clear to me that many do not understand how calibration works and the consequences of various errors I will try and put together some examples of what some common mistakes will do..

There is another point I think many do not understand.. if you are doing a 2 point calibration like the meg, doing it inside (using ambient air)is not the greatest idea..

Inside a well insulated space with the windows and doors shut the o2 percentage is very rarely 20.9%, its usually lower, with several people around its not uncommon to have actual oxygen percentages indoor of 18-19%,
