Electrical alignment
If the group prompt “LOCKOUT” has been configured for “CALIB” or “MAX” selection, you will not be
able to access PEN 1 or PEN 2 group prompt for electrical alignment. See
Section 3 – Configuration
to set
LOCKOUT to “NONE”.
ATTENTION
PEN 1 and PEN 2 must be aligned separately. However, the keystroke sequence is the same
for both pens, but the prompts change from PEN 1 to PEN 2. Be sure that the number of the
pen displayed in the prompt agrees with the number of the pen being aligned. If you only have
a one-pen recorder, the PEN 2 prompts do not apply.
Align the pens electrically as shown in Table 9-20.
