Appendix A Calibrating Encoders in the DCM
Calibration
Prior to using the Data Collection Module (DCM) you must calibrate the system to work with the encoders of the AMAC-500
crawler. The encoders are the devices that tell the DCM the position of the crawler. The first step in calibrating the system is
to accurately mark a distance on a flat, smooth magnetic surface. Next, you will need to drive the AMAC-500 along this
distance. Once you have prepared the magnetic surface select the Calibrate button from the menu bar. The Calibrate
Encoder Wizard will appear as shown.
Step 1 Enter the measurement distance that
the AMAC-500 will be driven. Then, click
Next.

Step 2 - Prepare the crawler to move by
aligning it with the starting mark. Once the
crawler is aligned with the first mark, click
Next.
