a Calibration table can be created two ways. it is recommended that the table be
created on a PC and loaded on the Legacy 6000. the second option is to create
the table using the Legacy 6000. a Calibration table allows the operator to select
from a pre-defined set of calibration numbers that are commonly used. An example
would be a granular application in which the gate height changes frequently, result-
ing in the change of the calibration number.
Creating a Calibration table on a PC
Create a calibration table with a text editor (such
as NOTEPAD) and save the file as “
CALs.TXT”
in a folder labeled “ sys” on the PC Card for the
Legacy 6000.
the calibration table is shown providing nominal calibration numbers for a granular
system that employs gate height ranging from 1 to 12 inches. a valid entry
must
have three fields separated by square brackets. Within the bracket there must be
some text [GATE HEIGHT][1 INCH][1406]. The Calibration Identifier is the table
name or label when loading the table in the Legacy 6000. The Cal # Definition
defines the calibration number to it. The calibration number
must be greater than
zero and the units must relate to those selected during Channel Setup. For exam-
ple; if sensor units are lbs/ac and the application is type ‘granular’, the Calibration
# must be in pulses/cubic foot.
