4.6  Using Automatic Calibration (AutoCal) (cont.)
4. If necessary, use the arrow keys to move to the AutoCal Interval text 
box.
5. Press [ENTER] to open the text box. Use the numeric keys to enter the 
desired value (in minutes) and press 
[ENTER].
Note: GE recommends setting the Autocal interval to 8 hours (480 
minutes).
The next time AutoCal occurs will depend on the length of the time interval 
that was selected. See the example below.
EXAMPLE:
The PM880 establishes a fixed schedule, beginning at midnight, using the 
interval specified to determine the times of subsequent AutoCals. If you 
enter an 8 hour time interval, AutoCal will occur 3 times per day (1 day = 
1440 minutes/480 minutes = 3). The fixed schedule will be as follows:
1. 8:00 a.m.
2. 4:00 p.m.
3. 12:00 a.m. (midnight)
If you set the 8 hour AutoCal interval at 8:10 a.m., the next AutoCal will 
occur at 4:00 p.m. (excluding the AutoCal performed when first leaving the 
System Configuration window).
Next, do one of the following:
• Use the arrow keys to move to another text box and enter additional 
data.
• To exit and return to taking measurements, press [F3] (OK) and then 
[MENU].
