Automated Controllers: On the Station Setup window Inputs panel, click the
Calibration tab, and then Save. This saves current calibration values on the
Calibration, Sensor, and Shunt tabs to the sensor calibration file.

DUCs) do not require or support multiple ranges. They use one range
that is typically set to 100%.
