7.1. Introduction
This section describes the features of the Instrument Docking Station (IDS), such as menu
options, the LED and alarm signals, and how to force the Docking Station to perform immediate
calibrations and bump tests from the IDS menu. The diagram below shows the front panel of an
IDS. This panel contains the LCD screen, the LED lights and the keypad with which you access
the menu on the IDS.

7.2. Menu
Options
The menu on an IDS is used to request actions from the IDS, such as on-demand calibrations or
bump tests.
NOTE:
The menu cannot be used when the IDS is performing a task (the yellow LED is
illuminated), except for when it is charging an instrument’s battery.
NOTE:
The menu cannot be used if the

setting for the IDS in DSSAC is set to
“Yes.” This option can be set in the DSSAC in the
