20130060485	METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY OPERATING A MEASURING DEVICE FOR MEASURING PARTICLES IN GASES - In the course of a method for automatically operating a measuring device for measuring particles in gases, in particular for measuring carbon black particles in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines, particle-related variables are repeatedly determined from the blackening of a filter paper in temporally limited individual measurements and the differential pressure caused by the flow of measurement gas is monitored via the internal measuring diaphragm, wherein the individual measurement is automatically terminated and an error message is output below a primary threshold value for the differential pressure. In order to now minimize interruptions in measurement operation and to increasingly ensure that correct measured values are output, the passing of a secondary threshold value for the differential pressure, which is above the primary threshold value, is monitored and the individual measurement is automatically terminated if this secondary threshold value is undershot, and the satisfaction of at least one predefined criterion is checked, wherein the individual measurement is terminated with an error message if this criterion is not satisfied, whereas a measured value is output if the criterion is satisfied.	03-07-2013
