– User Manual

 

UCT (

‘User Calibration Table’) Tab 

 

The UCT window provides the user with a simple method of changing the calibration performance of the sensor. 
Refer to the UCT commands detailed in the user manual for further information. 
 
Acu-Vis 2.0 will download any existing UCT settings and display them on the table and graph.  
 
The  easiest  method  of  changing  the  UCT  is  to  use  the  ‘Standard  %  Offset”  buttons  to  establish  a  calibration 
change.  When  the  calibration  change  has  been  selected  press  the  orange  ‘Save  UCT  to  Sensor’  button  and 
ensure the ‘UCT Status’ is set to Enabled. 
 

Caution: This feature will change the calibration profile of the sensor and may compromise  survey data 
and/or system performance.
