3.3 CALIBRATE
This function is used to define the gases to be applied to the
instrument and then sends the test or calibration setup files to
a GDU net . There is also the option to select which GDU net the
setup files are sent too.
3.3.1 Calibration Setup Options
A drop down menu allows the user to select templates of test /
calibration applications. This method greatly reduces setup time
for future tests / calibrations of same instrument type.
To view / select alternative templates, select the drop down menu
‘arrow’, highlighted in Fig. 3-9, to view stored list.
Fig. 3-9 Setup Template(s)
Note that the flexiCal net software package is pre-loaded with
the ‘GDUnet Setup Template’ and is used as an example in
the following process. The GDU net is also packaged with the
‘GDUnet Setup Template’ test and calibration setup.
Calibration templates for GMI instruments can be accessed /
selected as detailed in section 3.3.2.
Up to four (4) or eight (8) gases (flammable, toxic and oxygen)
can be fully defined.
Typically, instruments can be calibrated with Methane, Propane,
Butane or Pentane gases.
Generally, either a label on the instrument, or detailed on
instrument display during warm-up, identifies the calibration
gas type.
For calibration gas concentrations and gases required, refer to
GMI Instruction Sheet, Part No. 13939.
