Before You Begin

Before you begin using the SYS mode to calibrate your
field instrument(s), there are two tasks you must
perform:

 Download Instrument Tests

 Connect Necessary Equipment

Downloading Instrument Tests

Before you can access the BetaGauge II SYS mode, you
must first download instrument tests from a software
database on a personal computer to the BetaGauge II.
These instrument tests are referred to as tags.

A tag defines the specifications of the field instrument
you are calibrating, along with the output specifications
to be used for displaying measurement readings on the
BetaGauge II. In addition, a tag contains various test
points of expected input and output measurements for
actual calibration purposes. Typically, the tag name and
number corresponds to an existing instrument's tag in
your facility.

NOTE: Refer to your instrument maintenance software

manual for specific instructions on how to
download the tags to the BetaGauge II. The
remainder of this section presumes that you
have successfully downloaded the instrument
tags you want to use for testing and/or
calibration purposes.
