This spreadsheet is intended to allow accurate lambda calculation from the corrected values normally
found on an emission test vehicle inspection report (VIR). The data on a VIR is partially corrected for
dilution and will not support accurate lambda calculations unless this correction is adjusted out.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE INFORMATION IN THE RED AREA. Enter VIR data in the yellow
area. The values in red will automatically be calculated and displayed.
