3.7.1 Force Calibration Menu
Prior to shipping the Wire Myograph System has gone through two days of continuous testing, including final force calibrations.
However, DMT recommends that new force calibrations are performed before starting to use the Wire Myograph System for the
first time.
Begin the calibration procedure by pressing Force Calibration in the Settings Menu. The calibration procedure is listed in 6 indi-
vidual steps and needs to be performed to calibrate the system. Before starting the Force calibration the following is performed.
• Place the calibration bridge and T-balance on the Wire Myograph (see figure 3.1 for 360CW or 3.2 for 320A) allowing it to
be warmed up together with the Wire Myograph. Turn on the heating in the Heat sub-menu to the appropriate temperature
used during your experiments
• Mount a 40 μm stainless steel wire on the jaws connected to the force transducers.
NOTE
THE WEIGHT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE T-BALANCE YET.
Step 1 - Involves setting up the chamber for calibration. Fill the chamber to
a normal level with double distilled water. Move the jaws apart.
Press NEXT STEP.
IMPORTANT
TURN ON THE HEAT AND SET THE TEMPERATURE AT THE LEVEL AT WHICH
THE EXPERIMENTS WILL BE PERFORMED.
