Autocapture Feature

Examples of Instrument Calibration

Calibrating an Instrument
The Autocapture Feature makes it possible to make a manual cali-
bration that is semi-automatic when the input signal in measured.
To be able to utilize the Autocapture Feature the instrument data
has to be set as follows:
•
Input Method
• Calibration Method
•
Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviation
greater than zero.
Then MC5-IS tracks the input signal and once the input signal is
Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviation
inside the
for a time period defined in the
put values are automatically saved.
Activate the Autocapture Feature from the menu available when
viewing the calibration windows. When activated and a calibration
point is about to be captured (MC5-IS is waiting for the
Delay
time to pass while the measurements are stable enough and
Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviation
within the
an hourglass is shown in the input measurement window's lower
right corner.
When autocapture "snatches" the input and output signal values,
MC5-IS emits a beep and the next target value for the input is dis-
played.
This User Guide has only a few examples of how to calibrate an
instrument. Many calibration procedures not presented here are
either very similar to the ones presented in the following chapters
or they can be "combined", e.g. the calibration of a Pressure Indi-
cator/Recorder is partly done as a Pressure Transmitter and partly
as a Temperature Indicator/Recorder calibration.
Use the information presented in Part B of this manual when con-
necting/calibrating instruments that do not have a separate calibra-
tion procedure presented in this part.
The calibration of the following instruments are presented in this
manual:
Pressure Transmitters on page 110,
Temperature Sensors on page 112,
Temperature Indicators and Recorders on page 114 and
Electrical Limit Switches on page 116.
