Z axis.
Ensure the sensor is in Position 0 (see
). Select the Z axis and record the X and Y errors
due to Z (Xz, Yz). Rotate the sensor along the Z axis to end up in Position 3 (see
). The errors
obtained will be, Xz
’ and
Yz
’. The target value for X
z and Yz will be calculated as (Xz
’
-Xz)/2 and (Yz
’
-Yz)/2.
Adjust the potentiometers X->Z and Y->Z (
