Calibration Page…
Factory Settings
You can use the FACTORY SETTINGS
[Restore
Factory Calibration]
button of this page to restore
the module’s original factory output calibration if
you think you made an error and have degraded its
performance, or the output reading appears erratic.
In addition to the Restore Factory Calibration
function of this page, you could optionally use the
[Restore to “Out of Box” Condition]
button of the
Device/Communication Setup Page to return the
unit to its original factory configuration settings.
This other function does not restore calibration, but
only configuration. Alternatively, that button can
be used as a sanitation tool to restore a unit to its
initial configuration when decommissioning it.
Calibration Status
This field displays calibration status messages relative to calibration over USB. It will display messages like “No Error”,
“Transfer Error”, and “Timeout Error” after click
ing [OK] during calibration. If you encounter a Transfer or Timeout Error,
you may have to repeat the calibration process.

TIP

Calibration TimeSaver:
When calibrating output channels, and moving from one channel to the next, you
can save lots of time adjusting the outputs of successive channels by simply changing the channel number
following your initial zero or full‐scale calibration, then clicking on the slide control, which retains its last
position. This sends the new output selected to the same place you had adjusted the previous output. You
will find that output channel endpoints only differ by a few counts channel‐to‐channel, and you can simply
use
the arrow keys to make any fine adjustments as necessary. Calibration of all outputs is further streamlined by
doing all output channel zero endpoints first, then doing all the channel full‐scale endpoints, each in
succession.
