680HE Synergy Indicator Calibration The 680HE can be calibrated using the front panel and EDP commands. The following sections describe the procedures required for both of these calibration methods. The 680HE requires a WZERO and WSPAN points to be calibrated. The linear calibration points are optional; they Note must fall between zero and span, but must not duplicate zero or span.
680HE Synergy Indicator EDP Command Calibration Use the following instructions to calibrate the 680HE using EDP commands. For information on the EDP commands of the 680HE, see Section 7.0 on page The indicator must respond with OK after each step or the calibration procedure must be done again. Note 1.
680HE Synergy Indicator EDP Commands The 680HE indicator can be controlled by a personal computer connected to one of the indicator communication ports. Control is provided by a set of commands which can simulate front panel key press functions, return and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions.
