Summary 

 
Following is a simple, step-by-step procedure for executing a “full scale” span calibration of a 
9116 Intelligent Pressure Scanner. It is assumed that all channels in the unit are of the same full 
scale pressure range. Optional commands are shown within brackets [ ]. 
 
 

Model 9116 Command 

Ensure that valves are in RUN/CAL mode (default) 

[w1200] 

…  normal data acquisition 

 

Perform Re-zero calibration 

See Section 4.2.2 

Place the module calibration manifolds into the CAL position 
if this is the desired pressure application input. The RUN 
position may be a better choice for modules with 
transducers having different ranges. 

[w0C01] for CAL 

 

[w0C00] for RUN 

Apply exact full scale pressure to appropriate module CAL 
and CAL REF inputs [or optionally to RUN inputs]. 

 

Delay for settling of pneumatic inputs 

 

Verify that measured data reads near expected full scale 

[rFFFF0] 

Instruct module to calculate new gain coefficients for all 16 
channels 

ZFFFF 

Place calibration manifold back into the RUN position 

w0C00 

Store new gain coefficients to transducer non-volatile 
memory 

w09 

… continue normal data acquisition
