Electronic O2 Blender/Analyzer

Reason

There is an intermittent failure that occurred with certain devices assembled with stepper motors that did not meet supplier specification. This causes a blender initialization fault upon start-up, or during an EPGS calibration attempt. System diagnostics recognizes this and posts an error message 'Gas System Knob Adjust Only' at which time the gas system flow and FiO2 control sliders on the Central Control Monitor (CCM) are disabled and the gas system can only be controlled by the local control knobs.
