Programming the Meter
The meter may either be scaled (

applying an input or calibrated (
Cal
) by applying an
input. The meter comes factory calibrated to NIST
standards, so for initial setup, it is recommended to
use the (
SCL
) function. The Program menu contains
the Scale (
SCL
) and the Calibrate (
Cal
) menus.
Process inputs may be scaled or calibrated to any
display within the range of the meter.
Additional parameters, not needed for most
applications, are viewed and programmed with the
