30) Press the
key to calculate, change, and display the new velocity and
zero values, or
to cancel the calibration.
Note:
If
was pressed to calculate the new values, pressing the
key
once will display the CAL menu items to review the new ZERO value
calculated.
31) Finally, press the
key to return to the measurement screen and begin
taking readings.
Typically when the zero value is off and the hardware has not changed, it’s because
the temperature of the bolt has changed. In this case, the zero value should not be
changed, but the temperature value should be. Therefore the bolt becomes sort of a
temperature sensor in itself. This is also a good way to monitor temperature changes
in the bolt. The procedures below demonstrate how to adjust the temperature to
match the zero value.
Adjusting the Temperature to Match the Zero Value
This section assumes that a temperature sensor has not been connected
and the temperature mode is set to “manual”. If the temperature sensor
was connected and activated, the length of the bolt should match within
tolerance.
