The following example sets sequence #2 to do a zero-span calibration every other day starting at 2:15 PM on
September 4, 2008, lasting 15 minutes, without calibration. This will start ½ hour later each iteration.

NOTE
The programmed STARTING_TIME must be a minimum of 5 minutes later than the real time clock for
setting real time clock (See Section 6.5.4).
Avoid setting two or more sequences at the same time of the day. Any new sequence that is initiated
whether from a timer, the COM ports or the contact closure inputs will override any sequence that is in
progress.
NOTE
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 CO response each time the
AutoCal program runs.
This continuous readjustment 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.
