Calibration Type Menu Item - Honeywell SC1000 Owner's Manual

CALIBRATION TYPE
Menu Item
The choices for this menu item are:
• " " means 2-Point Known Displacement Calibration. You are
TYPE= 2 POINT CAL
prompted to apply the displacements to the transducer that were entered in
the " " and "
KNOWN POINT 1/2
that the transducer is linear throughout the entire stroke, so the usual dis-
placements used are zero scale and full scale.
• " " means 3-Point Known Displacement Calibration. You are
TYPE= 3 POINT CAL
prompted to apply the displacements to the transducer that were entered in
the " " and "
KNOWN POINT 1/3
technique can be used to compensate for the different sensitivities that an
LVDT may have on each side of its electrical null. The usual displacements
used are zero scale, half scale and full scale, but you are not restricted to
these displacements.
• " " means 5-Point Known Displacement Calibration. You are
TYPE= 5 POINT CAL
prompted to apply the displacements to the transducer that were entered in
the " ", "
KNOWN POINT 1/5 KNOWN POINT 2/5
" " registers. This technique can be used to compensate for the
KNOWN POINT 5/5
non-linearity in the transducer as well as the different sensitivities on each
side of its electrical null. The usual displacements used are zero scale, one-
quarter scale, half scale, three-quarters scale and full scale, but you are not
restricted to these displacements.
The selection of the calibration type affects what menu items appear in the
sub-menu.
