Best Answer

Oxygen's paramagnetic property causes a gas sample

containing oxygen to move within a magnetic field.

Thermistor pairs, which are part of a wheatstone bridge

circuit, sense the "magnetic wind" created by the gas

movement. The resulting signal, along with heat capacity

and viscosity measurements, is used by the

microprocessor to calculate the oxygen percentage

accurately.
