7 Performance Tests and Calibration

8Press to start the adjustment. The CAL flashes in the secondary display to indicate that the calibration is in

progress.

For an adjustment that is successful, the secondary display will briefly show PASS. An adjustment failure is indicated by a long beep and a calibration error number appears in the secondary display. The primary display remains at the current Cal Item. Check the input value, range, function, and entered adjustment value to fix the problem. Repeat the adjustment procedure.

9Repeat steps 1 through 8 for each adjustment point.

10Verify the adjustments using the “Performance Verification Tests” on page 120 and Table 6- 2.
