6.4 Cal/Test
This can arise if having selected and confirmed calibration one or more (but not
all) of the sensors are not calibrate enabled. In this case calibrate enabled chan-
nels will calibrate, and non-enabled channels will Gas Test (bump) only.
Oxygen i-modules are usually not set to calibrate enabled as the calibration at
20.9% on atmospheric air during the zero process is more accurate and repeat-
able than using certified gas mixtures. Provided it completes a successful test
and the other i-modules fitted successfully calibrate the calibration due date for
oxygen will be reset during a Cal/Test.

Gas flow not started imme-
diately
Repeat test, starting gas
immediately
