Encoder Calibration: Detailed Procedure
Task 1 Get things ready
Perform the following before you start the calibration.
1. Locate relevant documentation.
When calibrating an encoder or Temposonics sensor, you will need
information about the device such as the serial number, model number, and
a specification called measuring step (resolution).
2. Open a station configuration file.
You need a station configuration file that includes a control channel and a
control mode that uses the sensor you intend to calibrate.
Standalone FlexTest SE Controllers: Select Config > Edit Config >
Configuration File
Automated Controllers: On the File menu, select Open Station to open
the appropriate configuration file.
3. Select the Calibration access level.
You must select the Calibration user access level before you can perform
any of the calibration procedures. You may need to enter a password.
Standalone FlexTest SE Controllers: Select Config > Access Level >
Calibration
Automated Controllers: In the Station Manager window toolbar, select
Calibration
4. Set up a signal monitor.
See page 134 for more information.
Note If you already have a sensor calibration file, skip Task 2.
