The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the sensor and ala~

and/or trip functions, and shall include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping or otal channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated.

CHANNEL CHECK 1.5 A CHANNEL CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel behavior during operation by observation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel indication and/or status with other

~ndications and/or status derived from in~ependent instrument channels measuring the same parameter.

CHANNEL rUNCTIONAL TEST 1.6 A CHAN~EL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the primary sensor as practicable to verify OPC::RABILITY including alarm and/or trip_ functions.
