p Master setup screen
The Master setup screen contains fields for setting up and calibrating
encoders and transducers.
Specifying the number of calibration points
The calibration of the input encoders and transducers is performed
using the Master function described on page 43. Calibrations can be
based on a single data point, or on an average of up to 10 data points.
Averaging data points is useful when calibrations are performed in the
presence of vibration, surface irregularities or electrical noise.
To specify the number of points required:
U Highlight the Points Required field
U Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of required data points
between 1 and 10
U Press the ENTER key
Selecting calibration type
Input channel calibrations are Min-Max or Mean.
Min-Max calibrations use data points on the low and high ends of the
measurement range to define channel input resolution. LVDT, half-
bridge transducers and inputs with initially undefined measurement
resolutions require Min-Max calibrations.
Mean calibrations are used to preset input channels that are calibrated
or have defined resolutions to specific values. Encoders, scales and
other input devices with defined resolutions can be preset at any
device state the user wishes using the Mean calibration type.
After Min-Max calibration, transducer input values can also be preset
using the Mean calibration type. The channel input calibration process
is discussed in detail in Chapter 1: Operation. Refer to "Calibrating
channels using the Master function" on page 43.
