ACTUAL MODE CALIBRATION
When FastCalXP is operating in Actual Mode, the Reference value that is taken for any point is the pressure reading from the reference at the moment that
the keyboard Enter key is pressed, the Next Point button is clicked, or the foot switch is pressed. Actual Mode is the easiest mode of operation for the novice
operator. Typically, this is the mode that will be used for calibration of digital gauges and transmitters.
  With the Foot Switch
The optional foot switch will signifi cantly increase operation speed in Actual Mode since it enables hands-free storage of a measurement. Without the need
to use your hands to store a measurement manually, one hand can operate the comparator while the other taps the gauge. In all calibration modes, the foot
switch operates as the Next Point button.
 To Make an Actual Mode Measurement
1 Turn the handle of the comparator until the gauge reaches the Target Pressure.
2 Press the Foot Switch when the gauge needle points to the target pressure.
If you are matching the Target Pressure to the reference, you will have to enter the reading from the gauge in the Gauge box before you press Enter.
 To Re-measure a Profi le Step
 Click on the Previous Point button and adjust the comparator to reach the target again.
Without the Foot Switch
Without the foot switch, you will need to work with one hand on the comparator and one hand on the keyboard or mouse.
