Mode 2: time, CO2, temperature, humidity, illumination, TVOC (no CO2 or TVOC on AM100)

Mode 3: CO2, temperature, humidity, illumination, TVOC (no CO2 or TVOC on AM100)

CO2: Histogram with columns displays the latest reading value. Each column contains up to 40 dots, you can calculate the value by the formula below:

Let N = ColumnHeight, R = CO2Reading;
for N less or equal to 8, R = 200 + 50 × N ppm;
for N more than 8 and less than 40, R = 600 + 25 × (N-8) ppm = 400 + 25 × N ppm. 

If CO2 value is between 1001~1200, a warning lighting icon will appear instead of displaying the histogram. If reading value keeps increasing to more than 1200, the area will display a triangle with exclamation mark inside. 

Illumination: 5 bars indicates 6~50, 51~100, 101~400, 401~700, 701~701+, unit is lux. 

TVOC : 5 bars indicates 101~200, 201~250, 251~300, 301~350, 351~400, unit is ppb. If the value keeps going up above 400, the bars area will display a warning lighting icon.
