8. Make sure the system is at zero load, press tare and then load to your calibration load. Click in the Output Box, press Enter and VCal™ will
take the current reading. If you wish to recalibrate, just unload your sensor, press TARE and reload to your desired calibration load. The reading
taken will still be in mV/V even though the display is showing a scaled output. Press “Scale To Unit” to calibrate. You will have to re-save the
data iin order to store new calibration factors if you have saved the test previously. You won’t have to do a multi-point loading again unless you
wish to. During the
scaling procedures the linearization factors are being applied. If entering calibration data in Manual Mode from a pre-
calibrated load cell, the scaling factor will be estimated automatically.
9. Unless you are using VCal™ in Manual Mode, the test temperature will be automatically recorded.
10. You will now want to save the test, and you have calibrated your VCal™ Reference Sensor.
11. Manual Mode is used when entering calibration information that was done by a third party and calibration equipment is not available for a
self calibration.
