Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A gas concentration measuring apparatus for use in air-fuel ratio control of motor vehicle engines is provided which is designed to determine the concentrations of oxygen at different resolutions within a wide and a narrow range using a first and a second sensor signal which are amplified by first and second operational amplifiers at different amplification factors. The apparatus samples values of the first sensor signal at different concentrations of oxygen to find an output characteristic error of the first operational amplifier and determines an actual concentration of oxygen to calculate an output characteristic error of the second operational amplifier using the one of the first operational amplifier and the actual concentration of oxygen. This permits values of the first and second sensor signals to be corrected so as to compensate for the output characteristics of the first and second operational amplifiers.
