3) Press the
UP, DOWN, LEFT, & RIGHT
arrow keys using the left button
wheel to scroll the target cell cursor to the desired storage location.
Note:
The first
column A
must be used to store reference lengths.
4) Press the
ENTER
key to save the current reading in the highlighted cell
location.
5) Abort the
Grid View Box
by pressing the
MEAS
key at any time.
6) Proceed to the next section to perform and store the first
Probe Zero
verification.
DO NOT REMOVE THE TRANSDUCER FROM THE BOLT.
The next two sections outline the procedures of how to perform a probe zero
calibration by calculating a zero value, or alternatively adjusting the temperature
value to match the existing probe zero value. When should I use the
Calc Zero
feature versus adjusting the
Temperature
, and why?
The only time the
Calc Zero
feature should be used is when a different
MAX II
,
transducer, or transducer cable is being used, other than the one initially used to
obtain the probe zero data for the probe zero calibration bolt. In this case, calculating
the probe zero value forces the new hardware to match with the original. If the
hardware has not changed, the user should not use this feature. If the hardware
hasn’t changed only the temperature value should be adjusted to match the existing
zero values.
The next two sections outline first, the procedure for calculating a probe zero
because the hardware has changed, and second, by adjusting the temperature value
because the hardware is the same and the values do not match.
Performing a Probe Zero Calibration

User has selected this section because the

transducer cable has changed.
