Sensor Tare
A sensor can be zero-ed out before the start of a test. This re-zero-ing is called a Tare. Tares
are specific to Gage Pitches.
Save Tare
: Click this button to zero out a sensor.

Sensor Key
Any sensor whose key has been installed in the software and is able to be identified can be
rekeyed. Reasons for needing to Rekey include re-splicing a broken sensor, taking the sensor
to higher strain ranges, re-centering the strain and temperature range around a new point,
and permanently removing strain gradients induced in the sensor. For example, if a strain
sensor is installed and is loaded to 10,000
µε prior to a test, the system will only be able to
measure an additional 5,000
µε. If the sensor is rekeyed, the sensor can then be used over a
larger strain range. It is important to ensure that the sensor and system are static and in a
quiet environment when Rekeying a sensor.
