9.8 Characterization Curve
Located under Additional Functions, this directory contains options to configure and
visualize the characterization curve.
To create a new characterization curve, use the following procedure:
-Write in the “Number of Coordinates” field the number of coordinates that the table will
have.
-After that, the DTM will show a group of X and Y fields for each coordinate.
-After setting every coordinate, press the button labeled “Write Table” in the left side of
the graph area. The process of writing all coordinates in the device will take a few
seconds to finish.
-Below the graph, in the “Status (Characterization)” field, the DTM will inform if the write
has been successful or if there was any problems.
For more information about each parameter of this directory, see the chart below:
