Previously recorded data

The Calibration program also allows you to work with

previously recorded calibration data.

If you have used the ER60 to record raw data from a previous

calibration session you may operate the ER60 in replay mode

and perform the described calibration procedure as if the ER60

was operating in Normal mode. When operating in Replay

mode you can set the ping rate to maximum since this will not

affect the data quality.

Offline calibration

The calibration program may be run offline without an

operational ER60. To start it, locate the file calibration.exe. If

you have performed a standard installation, this file is normally

found in the following path:

c:\program files\simrad\scientific\ek60\bin\calibration.exe

If you have a calibration file previously generated by the ER60

calibration program, you can import the file in the calibration

program.

Open the File menu in the calibration window, choose

Open.

Select the file you would like to import, and click OK.

Examine and edit the previously recorded calibration data.

Edited data may be saved and you can update the transducer

parameters using the imported or edited calibration data. This

also enables you to use different calibration files from different

environmental conditions.
