SONO-VIEW and the probes dispose of their voltage supply. This may be useful, if the distance between the measuring equipment...

  • Page 8: Operation

    After an instant, the serial numbers of all connected probes are listed in the display. In order to maintain the clarity within the administration of the probes, the SONO-VIEW operates on the basis of assigned probe numbers (1...4). These must be allocated to the detected serial numbers in the next step.

    4.3.5 USB/IMP-Bridge As soon as this menu item is called up, the SONO-VIEW changes into a transparent data mode. All data packets will be now redirected from the USB interface directly on to the IMP-bus and vice versa. This enables a comfortable configuration of the probes via a connected PC without the necessity of additional hardware.

    4.4.1 Sensor Info If this menu item is selected, various information of the probe is called up and displayed. You can exit the menu item „Sensor Info” with the button 4.4.2 Material Calibration The menu item „Material Calibration“enables to adjust a material-specific calibration stored in the probe. This enables to significantly increase the accuracy of the measurement.
  • Page 14 4.4.2.2 Change The "CHANGE" sub-point allows you to perform a 1-point calibration or 2-point calibration. Use the buttons to toggle between 1-point calibration and 2-point calibration. The corresponding procedure is executed with the key and the key for finishing this procedure. 4.4.2.2.1 1-Point With this material calibration option, a linear equation (f (x) = mx + b) is calculated with the dry density.
