DMC Calibration mode
The
DMC Calibration mode
dialog box is used to calibrate the DMC unit,
in order to find true north. (The DMC unit finds the magnetic north, which
can be corrected to obtain true north. See section 10.3.)
Calibration of the DMC unit is typically done once per installation. That
is, if the system is not moved, no new calibration is needed. The DMC
Calibration procedure is described in section 10.3.1.
NOTE:
The Azimuth value in the
Setup – Pan/Tilt
dialog box will automatically be
adjusted to correspond with the magnetic north reading of the DMC unit.
