Loop Test

The Loop Test feature sends a command to the transmitter
to set its output stage to a specified value. Use this to
check the calibration of the output stage, or to check for
proper reading on an external loop reading device.

To perform a Loop Test:

1. From the Active Device screen Press the

Service

softkey, followed by

Loop Test

2. Press a softkey to command the transmitter to set its

analog output to the corresponding value, or manually
enter a value with the numeric keys.

In the middle of the screen the transmitter acknowledges
the selected PVAO (digital representation of the Output
stage). The calibrator shows the measured value at the top
of the screen, so you can use Loop Test as a quick way to
check the calibration of the transmitter’s Output stage.
