提供了一种免费提供的模拟程序，用于估计孵育室测量的总O-2吸收率（F-TOU）的不准确性。该软件允许在用户定义的大型底栖动物栖息的沉积物上进行任何给定腔室大小的重复孵育。该软件被用来评估所需的重复测量的数量，以获得F-TOU与给定的精度为典型的沿海环境，结果定量地表明，大型底栖室是首选，外推形成一个或几个孵化，特别是与小腔室应谨慎。
A freely available simulation routine for estimating the inaccuracy of Total O-2 Uptake rates (F-TOU) measured by incubation chambers is presented. The software allows replicate incubations of any given chamber size at an user defined macrofauna inhabited sediment to be performed. The software is used to assess the number of replicate measurements required to obtain F-TOU with a given accuracy for typical coastal environments, Results quantitatively demonstrate that large benthic chambers are to be preferred and that extrapolation form single or few incubations, especially with small chambers should be done with caution.
