Calibration
A calibration should be performed periodically to make sure the unit is
still providing accurate information. Also, be sure to calibrate any time the
potentiometer is changed.
Always calibrate with the same potentiometer
that will be used during the test.
1. Select “Calibration” from the “Operations” menu.
2. Prepare the potentiometer for calibration as described on page 29.
3. Place the weight hanger (with no weights) on the end of the string. The
weight hanger is 50 g.
4. Wait for the value on the screen to stabilize and then click “Accept”.
5. The software will prompt you to add weight to the hanger. After adding the
weight, wait for the value to stabilize, then click “Accept”.
The software will graph the calibration points as you enter them. At any
time you can click the “Back” button to re-enter a calibration point.
6. Click “Save” to save the calibration data.
