Hi Dana, I wasn&rsquo;t totally certain what you meant but here goes.. I haven&rsquo;t come across limits for the sensitivity anywhere though others may have done. I use the values just as a guide as to what the sensitivity should be when I measure it. I was told that the values quoted in the software should be easy to achieve with a functioning unit without too much need for optimization. I think this may be because the values were first determined in the past using older AAS models. Kevin
