7.6. Automatic Zero/Span Cal/Check (AutoCal)

The AutoCal system allows unattended periodic operation of the ZERO/SPAN valve options by
using the MGFC7000E’s internal time of day clock. AutoCal operates by executing SEQUENCES
programmed by the user to initiate the various calibration modes of the analyzer and open and

close valves appropriately. It is possible to program and run up to 3 separate sequences (SEQ1,
SEQ2 and SEQ3). Each sequence can operate in one of 3 Modes, or be disabled.
