Calibration Procedures Teledyne API - Model 200EH/EM Operation Manual
170
The following example sets sequence #2 to carry out a zero-span calibration every other day starting at 14:00 on
01 January, 2003, lasting 30 minutes (15 for zero and 15 for span). This sequence will start 30 minutes later
each day.
Table 7-4: Example Auto-Cal Sequence
MODE AND ATTRIBUTE VALUE COMMENT
SEQUENCE 2
Define sequence #2
MODE ZERO-HI
Select zero and span mode
TIMER ENABLE ON
Enable the timer
STARTING DATE 01-JAN-03
Start on or after 01 January 2003
STARTING TIME 14:00
First sequence starts at 14:00 (24-hour clock format)
DELTA DAYS 2
Repeat this sequence every 2 days
DELTA TIME 00:30
Repeat sequence 30 minutes later each time
(every 2 days and 30 minutes)
DURATION 15.0
Each sequence step will last 15 minutes (total of 30 minutes when
using zero-span mode)
CALIBRATE ON
The instrument will recalculate the slope and offset values for the
NO and NOX channel at the end of the AutoCal sequence.
Please note the following suggestions for programming the AutoCal feature.
The programmed
Starting Time must be 5 minutes later than the real time clock (Section 6.10).
Avoid setting two or more sequences at the same time of the day. Any new sequence which is initiated
from a timer, the COM ports, or the contact closures will override any sequence in progress. Note that
two sequences with different daily increments may eventually overlap.
If at any time an illegal entry is selected, (for example: Delta Days > 366) the ENTR key will disappear
from the display.
With
CALIBRATE turned on, the state of the internal setup variables DYN_SPAN and DYN_ZERO is
set to
ON and the instrument will reset the slope and offset values for the NO and NO
X
response each
time the AutoCal program runs. This continuous re-adjustment of calibration parameters can often mask
subtle fault conditions in the analyzer. It is recommended that, if
CALIBRATE is enabled, the analyzer’s
test functions, slope and offset values be checked frequently to assure high quality and accurate data
from the instrument.
