Note: The running data logger is also stopped if the signal drops below the start threshold. For this reason, a hysteresis of 1 % of full scale is applied to the start threshold. This can prevent a constant start/stop of the data logger if the signal curve is fluctuating about the start threshold. Stop threshold Start threshold Start threshold...

Page 51
3. Once you have started the sensor test, the zero offset and each of the shunt calibration values are measured using shunt resistors, and the input, output and isolation resistances of the connected sensor are measured. One the sensor test has finished, you can press [F2] to save the test results or press [F3] to rerun the test.
8.2. Viewing and managing the sensor test You can open previous sensor tests directly from the "Sensor Test" menu (see section "8.1. Running the sensor test" on page 50). You can display the results as soon as a sensor test has finished and been saved.
Operation mode "Device Test" with strain gauge simulator Note: The "Device Test" function is only included in the TRANS CAL model 7281-V0001 version. The most accurate way to calibrate a measurement chain is a comparison with a high-precision reference. A mechanical quantity whose precise value is known is applied as a load to the sensor. The effect, for instance for strain gauge based sensors, is to unbalance the bridge circuit, resulting in an output signal.
Operation mode "Voltage Source" Often external display devices, PLC analog inputs, instrumentation amplifiers etc. need to be calibrated or their output sensitivity tested for compliance with their datasheet and for setup issues. As already mentioned in chapter "9. Operation mode "Device Test" with strain gauge simulator"...
