The calibration procedure is as follows:

Connect the short load.

Load status is indicated by the color of the

voltage and current detector indicators.

Green denotes a load good status.

Press the appropriate button to continue, or

to exit.

The calibration progress will be shown in

the display bar.

The calibration is completed.

The calibration coefficients are shown at

the bottom of the screen, for information.

Press the appropiate button to apply the

new calibration settings, or to cancel them.

Press the appropiate button to go to the

optional Detector Test, or to exit.
