* Calibration point 1 should be performed at approximately 0% of range; calibration point 2 should be performed
at approximately 90% of range. See
(on page B-14) for calibration points.
Calibration adjustment procedure
Use the following procedure to perform remote calibration adjustment by sending commands over a
communications interface. The remote commands and appropriate parameters are separately
summarized for each step.
