For proximity (period) sensor systems, set the transmission value to 5.0. In order to calibrate the angle of the bell to the swinging period, set the Oscillation value as follows:

* Go to the 1Oscillation screen. The default value at the top of the display is 900. The bottom of the display should read "Stop" and "20"

* Have someone move the bell by hand so that the proximity sensor begins to blink. At this point the number beside "Stop" should begin to change and there should be a blinking asterisk ~~between~~ Stop ~~and the number~~.

* Have someone move the bell by hand so that the proximity sensor begins to blink. At this point the number beside "Stop" should begin to change and there should be a blinking asterisk to the right of "Stop."

** If this does not happen, check the sensor connections. If the light on the sensor is on when the flag is near it, and off when the flag moves away, the sensor is has power (through the + and - wires), but the output signal is not getting to the D input on the control board.

* Press the '''ON''' button - the display will say ''Measure''.

* Swing the bell by hand (or by use the '''EXE''' key to electrically pulse the motor if you can not reach the bell) to a little more than 20 degrees. The bottom number will begin to change first, indicating what the controller ~~calculates~~ the maximum angle of the bell to be based on the fixed period on the top line.

* Swing the bell by hand (or by use the '''EXE''' key to electrically pulse the motor if you can not reach the bell) to a little more than 20 degrees. The bottom number will begin to change first, indicating what the controller estimates the maximum angle of the bell to be based on the fixed period on the top line.

** After five consecutively similar swings, the swing period at the top of the screen should change from the default value of 900 to the actual swinging period of the bell (in milliseconds).

* After the bell has coasted to about 20 degrees, watch for the period to update then press the '''ON''' key to save it current period. The display will say ''Stop'' and the top period will remain static.
