FiberMINI ™ 2.0 Operation Manual
Active Curve
. Clicking on the
Active Curve number will open the
Curve Selection Window. This
window displays graphical
representations of the curves
available for the selected TRA at
default Offset and Gain settings.
Curves can be cycled through by
clicking the left and right arrow
buttons on the screen.
Each TRA style features pairs of
standoff curve fit variations (linear
and optimized) to meet the
customer requirements. Some TRA
styles also offer alternatives to the
standard linear and optimized
curves.

Offset
The Offset setting will decrease the
V
HSU
signal by approximately the
amount specified. As a result the
V
DIF
signal will also be affected.
Typically this number is set at 0 so
that 0.0mm standoff produces 0V.
Averaging Sample
When the HSU measures the
capacitance between the tip and the
work-piece, it will average this
number of sampled readings.
Increasing this number will have a
smoothing effect on the HSU signals
but it will also slow the response
time down. Typically this number is
set at 5.
Gain
The Gain is an integer between 1
and 10. It is a direct multiplier for the
V
HSU
signal. For example, with Gain
= 2 the V
HSU
signal will be
approximately 2V/mm instead of the
1V/mm on a linear scale. Typically
this number is set at 1.
4.4.5 Basic+ Panel
The Basic+ Panel can be accessed
by clicking the HSU/Basic+ toggle
button in the upper right corner of
the window or by selecting Basic+ in
the Display menu. See
Here, you will find functions that are
handled by the Basic+ Interface
box.
