To quickly setup the instrument, the following procedures will guide you through the process.
Device Setup—This procedure is used to configure actuator and valve information, calibrate the valve assembly, and
assign the tuning set for the valve assembly.
Performance Tuner (instrument level AD, PD, ODV)—This procedure executes a simple step response test and then
calculates a recommended set of gain values based on the response of the control valve. See page 26 for additional
information.
Stabilize Optimize (instrument level HC)—This procedure permits you to adjust valve response by changing the
digital valve controller tuning. See page 26 for additional information.
