Footnote:
1. For best results, the tilt experienced during calibration should match that experienced
in service. For example, if the TCM is restrained to a level plane in service, then
calibration should be
in a plane, where “max. positive” and “max. negative” are 0°.
5.1.3
Limited Tilt Range Calibration
A Limited Tilt Range Calibration is recommended when 45
° of tilt isn’t feasible, but >5°
of tilt is possible. It provides both hard-iron and softiron distortion correction. The
recommended 12 point calibration pattern given below is a series of 3 circles of evenly
spaced points, with as much tilt variation as expected during use.
