9.5 Temperature and Humidity Adjustments
Adjustments to the 2626-x calibration parameters are required when measure-
ment errors are excessive or outside of the specification. The calibration pa-
rameters can be accessed using the SENSOR CAL function in the CHANNEL
menu. The password is required to change the parameters. Calculation of new
calibration parameters requires that the measurement errors first be obtained
according to the procedure above in section Temperature and Humidity Mea-
surement Errors.AftertheTemperature and Humidity Adjustments proce-
dure is completed, perform the Temperature and Humidity Measurement
Errors procedure again to verify the calibration.
