4.2. OVERVIEW OF OPERATING MODES
The T703 calibrator software has a variety of operating modes. Most commonly, the
calibrator will be operating in STANDBY mode. In this mode, the calibrator and all of
its subsystems are inactive although TEST functions and WARNING messages are still
updated and can be examined via the front panel display.
The second most important operating mode is SETUP mode. This mode is used for
performing certain configuration operations, such as programming the concentration of
source gases, setting up automatic calibration sequences and configuring the analog /
digital inputs and outputs. The SET UP mode is also used for accessing various
diagnostic tests and functions during troubleshooting.
