Segmented Error Compensation
The scale travel is broken down into as many as 200 user-defined segments, each with their own
correction factor, measured against a high-accuracy standard. The following parameters need to be
identified;
Each Correction Point is measured with respect to the Starting Point - zero - which is usually set
close to one end of the scale. The Reference Point can be set anywhere along the scale, and does
not need to coincide with either the absolute datum or any of the correction points. However, it may
be convenient to make the absolute datum and the reference point the same.
Always approach the Starting Point, Correction Points and Reference Point from the same direction.
If not, the size of the tool or probe will render the measurement inaccurate.
