Dakota Ultrasonics
The MiniMax should be sent in for calibration by Dakota Ultrasonics, or other
authorized service representative, on a periodic basis to verify proper operation of
the instrument. Dakota Ultrasonics recommends one-year intervals.
Depending on the how critical the application is, bolts should be calibrated in a lab
against a known load prior to measuring. A temperature bath should also be used
to determine the necessary temperature factors required.
The following sections are typical methods of how to perform and calculate a probe
zero using the MiniMax. The proper method should be determined by the level of
accuracy required and the specifications and conditions of the application itself.
8.3 Creating a Group to Document Zero (Calibration) data
The first step is to setup a group to document our probe zero data. By doing this, all
the values and settings will be saved to the cell location for easy recall at a later time.
This will allow the user to easily verify the zero value and make any necessary
changes to the MiniMax, by adjusting the zero value or temperature depending on
the circumstances or conditions.
Note: This section applies to all the Zero/Calibration options (auto, using a stand
alone bolt, and 3" & 6" cal bars / glass block.
Note: Select a name that references this group to Cal Data.
