  8. Once you select your PCM code from the list, the remaining fields will populate.
  9. In the middle of the window, there will be a field labeled “Recommended preferred calibration” – the HEX code you will be using will be listed there (if you do not find a HEX code listed there, revert to the top-right of the screen and there will be a HEX code listed there)
