4.6.5 Torque Calibration Routine 

 

Used to calibrate tool using a Master Transducer. The 

following are steps to calibrate tool. 

 

1.  Press the “Start Calibration” button. 

2.  Run Tool to Final Torque. 

3.  Enter external transducer (Master) value in Measured 

Torque  

     box. 

4.  Press “Send New Cal Values to Tool” button. 

5.  ‘New Ca’l value is calculated automatically and assigned 

to tool ID Board.
