Calibration
The Calibration Menu allows you to congure the sensor for calibration, per-
form the calibration, and view the last calibration and calibration history.
Start Calibration Select gases and Cal gas values; start a calibration
Cal Gas Values Enter Cal gas values
Last Cal Results Shows results for the last calibration
Cal History Plots the history of gases calibrated
Auto Cal Cong Set Auto Cal timers
Flow Calibration Used with ow sensor only
Types of Calibration
AMEVision allows you to perform manual, automatic, or remote calibrations.
Automatic and remote calibrations require a factory-provided remote calibra-
tion unit (RCU) that automatically switches the calibration gases for you; manual
calibrations are performed without an RCU, and gases are switched manually.
Manual Calibration
The user denes the calibration gas values and physically switches the gases.
Automatic Calibration
This is an option that allows the system to calibrate itself. The user denes the
calibration gas values, the time each gas will ow through the sensor, and the
frequencies at which automatic calibrations will be performed (for example,
every four hours, every two days, etc.). The system calibrates itself at those pre-
dened times. Do not select Automatic Calibration unless you have a Remote
Calibration Unit (RCU).
Remote Calibration
The user denes the calibration gas values, but interactively determines how
long each calibration gas should ow from the RCU and into the sensor by
pressing ENTER/MENU to accept the values when the gas is stable. The gases,
however, are automatically switched on/o using the RCU. Do not select Re-
mote Calibration unless you have this option.
Remote and Automatic Calibrations are only available if your analyzer
has an RCU and the ‘AutoCal’ option is enabled in the Sensor Con-
guration menu.
