We have now made all the desired changes, and the display defaults to the 
standard Hyperterminal window with periodic updates.  See the illustration below. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5.4.5  CALIBRATING THE ANALOG OUTPUTS 

If you have a precise 
milliammeter, the PPM1 and 
PPM2 allow you to check the 
calibration of the two 4 to 20 mA 
analog outputs.   In order to utilize 
this capability, connect the meter 
in series with one of the analog 
outputs and the load.  Observe 
the correct meter polarity. 
Press the “Escape” key on your 

keyboard, which will interrupt the 
data stream and give you the 
Calibration option.  Than, press 
“C” for C)alibrate.  For this 
example, select Output 1 to 
calibrate.  Next, read your 
precision ammeter, which will give 
you the high end current.  It 
should read around 20 mA.  In 
this case, the actual reading is  

19.9 mA as shown.  Type this
