All Roctest fiber optic readout equipments can read the FOD. Data acquisition systems are also available. Contact manufacturer for more details. The FOD is delivered with a calibration data sheet providing calibration factors to be used in the displacement equation. The displacement equation converts readings units into engineering units.

E10169-001109 With the FOD-J confiuration, both extremities are fixed to ball joint linkages that mate with the anchors. This model is fited with a telescopic plunger free to move in or out of the housing as the distance between the measurement points varies. The FOD-J allows for small latteral displacements.

Please review the readout unit instruction manual before proceeding with the reading. Before a transducer can be used with the fiber-optic readout unit from Roctest, its gage factor (0001000) must be first selected. The gage factor, already recorded in the memory of the readout unit, is registered on a label installed on the cable close to the fiber-optic connector and on the calibration sheet of the gage.
