How to Adjust Setpoint and Span During a Test
The Setpoint controls can adjust the setpoint of both single channels and multiple channels.
Setpoint and Span controls in a Master Command Group are available only on a single channel.
Reducing the Station Controls panel’s Master Span setting further reduces an individual channel’s Span
setting. For example: a Master Span of 50% halves an individual channel’s Span of 50%, giving the channel
an effective 25% span.
