Measurement Performance

If stability varies outside test limits, the meter verification procedure will be aborted. Verify process stability and retry.

During meter verification, you must choose to fix the outputs at either the configured fault levels or the last measured value. The outputs will remain fixed for the duration of the test (approximately four minutes). Disable all control loops for the duration of the procedure, and ensure that any data reported during this period is handled appropriately.

To perform meter verification, follow the procedure illustrated in Figure 10-1. For a discussion of meter verification results, see Section 10.2.1. For additional meter verification options provided by ProLink II, see Section 10.3.2.
