Task 7 Gain/Linearization Calibration
If you are using Gain/Linearization for your calibration type,
complete the following procedure. If not, complete Task 6 Gain/Delta
K Calibration on page 114.
Important Using linearization data requires specific conditioner zeroing
practices. Ensure that Electrical Zero Lock on the Offset/
Zero menu is set to Locked. Adjusting electrical zero after
calibration may invalidate linearization data.
