Method Name: methodSetupWizard

Method ID: 0x4007

Method Label: Setup Wizard

Method Help: The setup wizard will guide you through basic steps to setup the positioner on an actuator. You may skip this wizard if the valve and positioner have been factory configured and calibrated. Always isolate the valve from the process. The wizard allows setting Air Action. The valve move full open and full closed. You will be prompted if mode must be changed. The steps are in the following order: 1. Set Air action to Air to Open or Air to Close; 2. Run Find Stops, to set 0% to the valve closed position and to set 100% to full opened position. 3. Run Auto Tune to determine best dynamic parameters for position control. 4. Reset Basic Configuration and Calibration to Factory Defaults.
