Calibration

The Calibration Menu allows you to configure the sensor for calibration, per-
form the calibration, and view the last calibration and calibration history.

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 defines the calibration gas values and physically switches the gases.

Automatic Calibration

This is an option that allows the system to calibrate itself. The user defines the
calibration gas values, the time each gas will flow 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-
defined times. Do not select Automatic Calibration unless you have a Remote
Calibration Unit (RCU).

Remote Calibration

The user defines the calibration gas values, but interactively determines how
long each calibration gas should flow 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/off using the RCU. Do not select Re-
mote Calibration unless you have this option.

Remote and Automatic Calibrations are only available if your analyzer

figuration menu.
