Zeroing the CubiScan 110-T
CubiScan 110-T
20
When measuring objects with irregular or porous surfaces that do not
reliably reflect sound, it may be necessary to place a rigid sheet of plastic or
metal against the irregular side or sides so the sensors can record the
dimensions. For example, when measuring books, a rigid sheet should be
placed against the paper edge of the books.

If rigid sheets are used when measuring objects, tare values should be entered to
compensate for the thickness and weight of the sheet. Set tare values using the
Options function on the Tools menu of Qbit (refer to the
Qbit User Guide
).
Zeroing the CubiScan 110-T
Tap the
[Zero]
button on the touchscreen to “zero” the CubiScan 110-T (set
all empty measurements and weight to zero). The weight of the platform
and the measurement from each sensor to the platform sides when the
platform is empty must be set to zero for the CubiScan 110-T to operate
properly. The CubiScan 110-T tries to zero itself automatically every five
seconds when it is not in the Measure mode. However, you may need to use
this option in the following circumstances.
•
If, during a long measuring session, environmental conditions
(temperature and humidity) have changed noticeably.
•
If you suspect that the last zeroing was in error (something was on the
platform).

Make certain that the platform is free of all objects before using Zero. If not, the
zero reading will not be accurate.
