Additional parameters, not needed for most applications, are programmed
in the
Advanced Features menu; see Advanced Features Menu, page 69.
Multi-Point Calibration & Scaling
The meter is set up at the factory for 2-point linear calibration. The
number of points for multi-point calibration/scaling is set up in the
Advanced Features menu. Up to 32 linearization points may be selected.
See page 76 for details.
Panel Meter Pro Software
The meter can also be programmed using the PC-based Panel Meter
Pro software available for free download at www.dwyer-inst.com.
Data logging for one meter at a time is available with Panel Meter Pro
software. More advanced data acquisition may be accomplished by
using any Modbus RTU compliant software.
In order to program the meter using a computer, the meter must be
connected using a USB, RS-232 or RS-485 serial adapter, see
Ordering

Input Calibration Method (InCAL)
There are two methods of calibrating (or scaling) the display to show the
correct engineering units.
 Use the Scale menu to enter the scaling without a signal source.
 Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a signal source.
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are exclusive of each other. The
meter uses the last function programmed. Only one of these methods
can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate functions can use
up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of points should be set in
Scale and Calibrate accordingly under the Number of Points
(nopts)
menu selection prior to scaling and calibration of the meter, see page 76
for details.
