Comparison between real CO2 contents and measured diluted ones from Delta Ray IRIS with either the (a) yellow, (b) pink, (c) blue, or (d) gray dilution wires. The two Delta Ray IRIS instruments available at the INGV Palermo (DR1 and DR2) were used for this test leading to distinct coefficients for the equation of linear regression. CO2 contents of reference gases varying from 1 to 95% (see Appendix 1).
