Calibration consists of two main steps:
1.
Configuring the module for calibration, which is described in the
Configuring the FieldPoint AI Module for Calibration
section of this
document.
2.
Running the procedure to calibrate the module, which is described in
the
Running the Calibration Executive Procedure
section of this
document.
Configuring the FieldPoint AI Module for Calibration
To verify the operation of the test fixture, build a FieldPoint bank with a
network module, calibration terminal base, power supply, and the
FieldPoint AI module you are calibrating. Build the FieldPoint bank as
follows:
1.
Attach the network module to the calibration terminal base as shown
in Figure 1.

Connecting FieldPoint Terminal Bases
2.
Place the FieldPoint AI module on top of the calibration terminal base.
3.
Connect the bank to the host computer using an RS-232 cable.
4.
Select the appropriate baud rate that your computer supports on the
network interface module. Table 4 shows the available baud rates.
The default baud rate for the FP-1000 is 115,200, which provides the
fastest performance. You do not need to change this setting unless you
experience communications problems.
