Calibrating   Metropolix   Outputs   

 

You   can   calibrate   all   four   of   Metropolix’   variable   outputs   ( 

TRK 1   PITCH 

,    

TRK 2 PITCH 

,    

OUT A 

,   

OUT B 

)   using   the   same   technique.   

 

TIP :   If   you   make   a   mistake   at   any   point   during   the   following   calibration   procedure,   you   can   scroll   to   
the   bottom   of   the   Calibration   menu,   select    Reload   All ,   and   press   the   encoder.   This   will   reload   the   
current,   previously   saved   values   back   into   Metropolix.   Once   you   enact   a    Save   All ,   this   is   no   longer   
possible,   since   your   edited   values   will   overwrite   the   previous   calibration.   

 

To   Calibrate   Metropolix’   Outputs:   

 

1.

Patch   the    

OUT A  

  into   a   calibrated   voltmeter   with   .001V   accuracy.   

 

2.

Enter   Calibration   Mode,   as   discussed   earlier.   

 

3.

Turn   the   encoder   to   highlight   ‘ 

OUT   A 0V:   [number] 

’ 

,   then   press   the   encoder.   

 

The    

[number]  

  field   is   highlighted.   

 

4.

Turn   the   encoder   (either   clockwise   or   counterclockwise)   to   adjust   the   internal   trim    

[number]  

  until   

your   voltmeter   reads   as   close   to   0.000V   as   possible,   then   press   the   encoder   to   lock   in   the   
offset.   

 

5.

Turn   the   encoder   to   highlight   ‘ 

OUT A   1V:   [number] 

’,   then   press   the   encoder.   

 

The    

[number]  

  field   is   highlighted.   

 

6.

Turn   the   encoder   (either   clockwise   or   counterclockwise)   to   adjust   the   internal   trim    

[number]  

  until   

your   voltmeter   reads   as   close   to   +1.000V   as   possible,   then   press   the   encoder   to   lock   in   the   
offset.   

 

7.

Patch    

OUT B  

  into   your   voltmeter,   turn   the   encoder   to   ‘ 

OUT   B 0V:   [number] 

’  

  and   repeat   Step 4,   

then   turn   the   encoder   to   ‘ 

OUT   B 1V:   [number] 

’  

  and   repeat   Step 6.   

 

8.

Patch    

TRK 1   PITCH  

  into   your   voltmeter,   turn   the   encoder   to   ‘ 

Pitch 1 0V:   [number] 

’  

  and   repeat   

Step 4,   then   turn   the   encoder   to   ‘ 

Pitch 1 1V:   [number] 

’  

  and   repeat   Step 6.   

 

9.

Patch    

TRK 2   PITCH  

  into   your   voltmeter,   turn   the   encoder   to   ‘ 

Pitch 2 0V:   [number] 

’  

  and   repeat   

Step 4,   then   turn   the   encoder   to   ‘ 

Pitch 2 1V:   [number] 

’  

  and   repeat   Step 6.   

 

To   Save   the   Calibration:   

 

1.

Turn   the   encoder   to   select    

‘Save   All’ 

,   then   press   the   encoder   to   save   your   calibration.
