Abstract
A method for operating a gas sensor device, which is equipped with at least one gas-sensitive electrical sensor resistor, a heating element for the controlled heating of the sensor resistor, a detection element for detecting the resistance value of the sensor resistor, and a signal processing element for processing measuring signals. In the method, measurements are carried out in time intervals, in which the resistance value of the sensor resistor is detected as a measuring signal, and the sensor resistor is heated for each measurement, the heating element being operated discontinuously in heating intervals and each measurement being assigned a heating interval. Measurements are automatically carried out in predefinable time intervals, and additional measurements are initiatable at arbitrary times. The duration of the heating intervals assigned to the individual measurements being selected as a function of the time interval to the preceding heating interval.
