After these variables are set, the valve sequence must be restarted to make the

changes effective. See Section 5.5, Starting and Stopping the Sequence, for

detail on starting and stopping the sequence. The program will then set its

timing variables as appropriate for the options selected (see Appendix F, Valve

Sequence Timing, for details).

6.2 Manual Zero and Span

This section describes how to perform a manual zero and span of the IRGA.

This procedure assumes the use of a keyboard display, but the process is

similar when using LoggerNet.

The AP200 keyboard menus are designed to guide the user step by step

through the manual zero/span process. Each line in a menu is either a submenu

or it displays or edits a public variable. At the top-level AP200 menu, select

Manual Zero/Span.

The

Manual Zero/Span menu has four submenus that should be visited in the

order listed.

After the steps on the four submenus are completed, there are three lines to

restart the valve switching sequence. The following section provides details on

this procedure.
