General Calibration Procedure 
When you start FAA-CAL, it scans the available RS-232 ports in the PC for a 
connected  PTE-100-C PRO. Therefore, first connect your unit to the PC 
using the supplied DB-9 cord, switch it on and activate its serial port by 

pressing 

  and 

  until you hear an audible tone and a tiny 

rectangle is lit at the right edge of Display #1. Now you can launch the 

FAA-CAL program. 
In a few seconds, a small 
window  will show the con-
nected unit’s serial number. 

Click OK to accept and be-

gin with the calibration 

process. 

If the serial number of the connected PTE-100-C PRO is new in the FAA-CAL’s 
equipment database, the program will create a new record for that unit and 

will acquire and save its adjustments into it automatically. This will allow you 
to back up to the factory settings in case you make mistakes and render the 
equipment unusable accidentally. 

FAA-CAL displays a chronological list of all the adjustments done on one or 
more PTE-100-C PRO units to the date. To readjust the connected unit, click 
on “NEW” and follow the instructions provided with the program. If you wish 

to restore a previous set of adjustments to the connected equipment, high-

light the desired line in the list and click on “Send to the Equipment”.
