Appendix F.  Calibration and Zeroing 

F.5.3  Using the Wizard to Perform Zeroing Calibrations 

In the Wizard, select 

Zero

 for the type of calibration. 

 

Select the sensor you wish to calibrate, press 

Next

. 

 

If the variable is configured as an array of sensors, you may select an 
individual item to calibrate only that element, or you can select the entire array. 

Now you can monitor the reading on the sensor to be calibrated.  Set the sensor 
to the zero condition, and press 

Calibrate

.
