Therefore even after powerloss or flashing of new software no recalibration is needed.


### CO2 Autocalibration mode

No manual calibration is needed if you operate the sensor in an environment with constant support of fresh air.
The sensor datasheet explains this further:

> The correct application of ASC requires the SCD30 to be regularly exposed to air with CO2 concentration = 400 ppm,
> as is the case in well ventilated buildings over night without human presence.
This `ASC` mode can be enabled by changing the parameter to the call of `setAutoSelfCalibration` to `true` (`src/sensors/scd30.cpp`).
