Calibration Wizard - Select Channels to Calibrate

Use this wizard to calibrate the analog devices. To perform the calibration process, the device must be online with the controller and at least one channel must be selected to calibrate.
TIP:
Calibration is not available in Run mode or Remote Run mode.
Although the purpose is the same for input and output devices, the process differs for each:
  • When calibrating input devices, use current or voltage calibrators to send a signal to the device.
  • When calibrating output devices, use a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to measure the signal that the device is sending out.
The
Calibration Wizard - Select Channels to Calibrate
 view includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Channel
Allows configuration of the parameters for the channel.
Calibrate
Indicates the selected channels to calibrate.
The wizard calibrates the voltage mode channels first, then the current mode channels.
Calibration Range
Indicates the calibration range, as defined on
Configuration
 by the
Input Range
 or
Output Range
 selections.
Valid values are
0 mA to 20 mA
 for current input and output channels and
-10 V to 10 V
 for voltage input and output channels.
Calibration Gain
Indicates the calibration gain that is reported by the device.
Calibration Offset
Indicates the calibration offset that is reported by the device.
Calibration Status
Indicates the status of the calibration per device. Valid value is
OK
 or
Error
.
Calibrate channels in groups
Applies a reference signal to all the selected channels at the same time.
Calibrate channels one at a time
Applies a reference signal to one channel and then move the reference to the next channel.
Calibrate the selected channels one at a time.
Next
Starts the calibration of the channel.
If the value for the channel is acceptable, and another channel is selected to be calibrated, the next channel is highlighted.
Retry
Restarts the calibration for the channel.
Cancel
Cancels the calibration process.
