8.7.1 Calibrating the Analog Output
The calibration procedure consists of calibrating the analog output zero
point (0 or 4 mA) and then calibrating the full scale point (20 mA). You
enter, first the setpoint, and then the actual value derived from an ammeter
or digital voltmeter. The analog outputs have a resolution of ±5.0 µA. Press
the [T] arrow key to enter the Analog Output window.
