Get/Send Calibration Files
The .cal file contains the calibration values for the system. If the hard drive is
replaced the .cal file will be automatically downloaded from the frame ID
chip.
Situations where the printer will not calibrate before a build, even if manual
calibration has been performed by the technician, the factory .cal file may
need to be obtained from Stratasys, Inc.
Get Calibration
The
Get Calibration
button allows a single calibration file to be retrieved
from any printer. This calibration file will also be on the printer Frame ID
chip. This file contains all the factory calibration information, including, but
not limited to: Tip Offset, Tip Depth, Y Lash, X Correction, and the table
calibration .DAT file.
When the button is pressed, a file selection dialog is presented allowing the
assignment of a file name and the selection of a storage location. This file
should be updated any time maintenance is performed that affects the
factory calibration.
Send Calibration
The Send Calibration button allows you to send the complete set of factory
calibrations to the printer as a single file. This includes but is not limited to:
Tip Offset, Tip Depth, YLash, X Correction, and the gantry DAT file. This file
is stored on the system frame ID chip. A calibration file can be retrieved from
the modeler using

.
When this button is pressed a dialog box appears that allows you to browse
for and select the calibration file to send to the printer.
