NO; YES
Units None
Description
Enables calibration alarm reporting
Usage
If enabled, allows the analyzer to report a calibration failure as an alarm. In version
2.2 or earlier, this merely reports this fact to the control module, not to the 1/0
module for relay indication.

Units Percent
Description
Calibration error percentage
Usage
The percentage of range that constitutes a calibration failure. If the calibration gas is
measured such that the difference between its measured value and its alleged value
is greater than this as a percent of range, then the calibration will fail, if
CALCHKLIMITS is set to enabled.

Value range
SEPARATELY; TOGETHER
Units None
Description
Determines whether ranges are spanned together or separately.
Usage
If separately, a span command will cause a span on the current range only. If
together, a span command will cause the analyzer to attempt to span on all ranges,
unless it has to change hardware gains or unless the span gas concentration is
greater than 10% higher than the range's upper limit. In these cases it will not
calibrate the ranges it can't, but it will calibrate the others. In general it is best to
calibrate ranges separately.
