Talk: Indirect calorimetry

At the beginning of the 2nd heading it says:

"Indirect calorimetry measures O2 consumption and CO2 production. On the assumption that all the oxygen is used to oxidize degradable fuels and all the CO . . ."

Shouldn't CO be CO2 in the above line?

Also, does this instrument measure O2 and CO2 simultaneously? In other words, two analyzers, or one analyzer with dual gas capability.

Thanks, Sattyam
