6- Application Notes
Overview
The BetaGauge II allows you to perform many different
calibration tests. In addition, the configurations of these
tests may vary, depending on whether you are using the
conventional calibrator mode or documenting calibrator
(SYS) mode of operation.
Modes of Operation
The BetaGauge II has two modes of operation: the
conventional calibrator mode and the documenting
calibrator (SYS) mode.
In the conventional mode, the BetaGauge II monitors
signals to and from a field instrument for the purposes
of testing or calibrating that instrument. If you want to
document the field instrument’s input and output values
using the conventional mode, you must manually record
the information.
In the documenting calibrator (SYS) mode, the
BetaGauge II prompts the user to apply input signals to
the instrument, and then documents the instrument’s
output signal.
NOTE: For more information on how to use the
documenting calibrator (SYS) mode, refer to
Section 7.
