RKI Instruments SDM-E2 - Manual (Page 38)

33 • Setting Up the PC Controller Program
8. Select the Calibration options.
In the Calibration section of the Parameter Tab, you can select Manual
Calibration or Auto Calibration.
If Manual Calibration is selected, you have to manually select an instrument or
instruments in the main program window and click Calibration in the lower right
corner of the window in order to perform a calibration.
If Auto Calibration is selected, and an instrument is due for calibration, a
calibration will automatically begin 1 minute after that instrument successfully
connects to the program and its instrument parameters are retrieved by the
program. When you select Auto Calibration, a window pops up indicating that
only sensors tested with GAS 1 and one sensor tested with GAS 2 will be
calibrated in auto calibration.
Only instruments with one or more of the standard 4 sensors and one special
sensor can be fully calibrated using Auto Calibration. If you have an instrument
with more than 1 special sensor, only the standard 4 sensors will be calibrated.
You must perform a manual calibration in order to perform a complete
calibration.
If neither box is selected, you will not be able to perform a calibration. The
factory setting is Manual Calibration selected and Auto Calibration deselected.
Select the box for the desired operation.
The Auto Calibration selection also has a Standard GAS and an All GAS
selection. If Standard GAS is selected, only the standard 4 sensors will be
calibrated during an automatic calibration. If All GAS is selected, all installed
sensors will be calibrated during an automatic calibration if the instrument has
only 1 special sensor. If the instrument has more than one special sensor, only
the standard 4 sensors will be calibrated.
9. Select the Bump Test options.
The Bump Test section of the Parameters Tab allows you to make selections
related to the bump test functionality of the SDM-E2.
• Manual Bump Test/Auto Bump Test
You can select Manual Bump Test or Auto Bump Test.
If Manual Bump Test is selected, you have to manually select an instrument
or instruments in the main program window and click Bump Test in the
lower right corner of the window in order to perform a bump test.
