== Setting ==
 
−
The setting wheel is set in percent of input 1.  Holding 'c' allows you to set the dial in 1 percent increments.  It's possible to set the ratio with an arbitrary precision using the labeler or a [[Kit (Logic I/O)|Logic Writer]], but the dial will always show rounded to the nearest percent when you look at it.

−
== Temperature Dependence ==
 
−
The gas mixer will mix the input gases based on moles of gas in the ratio provided by the setting, but only if the gases at input 1 and input 2 are at the same temperature.  This means if you're trying to mix [[Volatiles]] and [[Oxygen]] at a 2:1 ratio, make sure both input gases are at the same temperature.
 
−
 
−
While the gas mixer ignores input pressures, the mixer will take more moles of the colder gas than you would expect.  For instance, if you set the gas mixer to a 1:1 ratio and both inputs contain just [[Carbon Dioxide]], input 1 at 2000 K and input 2 at 1000K, it will take twice as much of the gas from input 2, so your resultant gas will be Carbon Dioxide at 1333.33 K.
 
  
 
Assuming you're mixing two identical gases with different temperatures, and the temperature of the hot gas at input 1 is "T1", the temperature of the cold gas at input 2 is "T2" and the mixer is set to "S" percent, then the resulting gas temperature will be given by this formula:
