Extensometry Rods: All information listed under Extensometry Rods, including Gage Length, is for
reference only and does not have any effect on the data or calibration process.
Enter the gage length of the extensometer frame. This entry does not influence strain reporting; it is
used in extensometer grading only.
Physical/Calibration Information: Enter the appropriate information under Physical/Calibration
Information. Consult ATS if the proper voltage or displacement information is unknown. The number
of steps tells the calibration and verification program how many data points to take. Ten is the most
common value.
Verification Information: There is a choice of a single pass or ASTM-specified multi-pass verification. If
ASTM is selected, two is the minimum number of passes. The ASTM procedure will choose the amount
of required steps. If single pass is selected, one is the default number of passes. The user selects the
number of steps. The default number of steps is ten and will appear in a box under the number of
passes.
There is also a choice of assigning a verification cycle. This option enables the user to designate the
amount of time needed for re-calibration. For example, if 365 is entered in the cycle box, the equipment
will not need to be re-calibrated for 365 days. Click Apply , then OK, if all the information is selected and/
or entered.

Under Frame Setup, choose the Left Extensometer tab. If the identification numbers are not entered,
then enter them now. Choose the Right Extensometer tab. Again, check the identification numbers. Both
sides should be the same except for the serial number. This information will appear in the report.
Click OK when finishing the Left/Right Extensometer tabs.
This completes the frame setup procedure. To view a summary of the frame setup
