CALIBRATE KEY

The Calibrate key allows you to use the Series 2000 control unit to calibrate your

analyzer. The Series 2000 control unit provides features that make calibrating your

analyzer easy, and even includes a way for the system to periodically calibrate itself.

Sensor alarms are disabled during calibrations, including the recovery

time after a calibration. For analog outputs, you can set whether they

should follow the calibration readings or hold at the last process read-

ing (see the Analog Range Key section).
