Normalization, Calibration and Master Calibration
Reference measurements should be performed after every normaliza-
tion and calibration to verify the normalization and calibration.
It is not possible to start a normalization, corrective calibration or a
master calibration as long as the restricted operating mode is enabled
(indicated by
on the display) (
Mode’, beginning on Page 166)!
A new block starts automatically after every normalization or calibra-
tion. The measurements stored in the Applications will
not
be deleted
after a normalization or calibration. If required, these measurements
may need to be deleted prior to the next measurement.
The normalization and corrective calibration affects only the open
Application. The other applications are not affected. The coefficients of
the master characteristic stored in the EEPROM of the probe plug are
also not affected. However, if the linking mode is enabled (
on
the display), the normalization and the corrective calibration affect
all
Applications that are linked with the open Application.
With external start enabled, a measurement acquisition can be trig-
gered during a normalization or calibration by:
- Pressing the
FINAL-RES
key,
- Transmitting one of the ASCII characters
“G0”
,
“ES”
,
“EN”
or
- the control character
“ESC?”
via the interface port (ESC = ASCII27).

Normalization
With the normalization, a new zero point is established for the calibration
curve of the open Application and stored in the open Application. The co-
efficients of the master characteristic stored in the EEPROM of the probe
plug are not affected.
