PCAL  
(applicable only to the MilliVolt sensor type )  This pressure calibration value 
represents  the number of millivolts at full range.  This value is unique for each 
sensor, and sometimes is referred to as Full Scale Detection  (FSD). 
Custom Offset

   Deadband  (applicable only to Threshold and Profile alarms)  
This field displays the deadband value around the threshold.  The logger will 
generate a high alarm when the channel reading exceeds  the High Threshold 
plus the deadband.  The alarm clears when the channel reading falls below the 
High Threshold  and the deadband.  For example, entering a high threshold of 
0.456 mgd and a deadband of 0.023 mgd will trig ger a high alarm when the 
flow exceeds 0.479...
