Principle Of Compensation In Measurement Mode - Use Cases; Activating Compensation - Metro DataVac M1 User Manual

14.5.3. Principle of compensation in measurement mode – use cases
The temperature compensation ables to compensate the temperature' expansion of a
part and to estimate what its size will be after cooling.
In the following example, we will consider the measurement of a 50mm mild steel ring.
We have a mild steel master, the certificate gives it at 50,000 mm at 20°C.
We will display on the screen the compensated characteristic and the "normal
characteristic" which uses the same probe but with the compensation mode deactivated
for comparison

14.5.3.1. Activating compensation

The setting of the compensation needs 2 steps
Add a temperature source
To measure the temperature, you can use an MB-TP module.
Connect the module to the M3 and define the settings of the MB-TP
Specify the master and nominal value and the temperature source for the
characteristic to be compensated
The master's dimension is 50 mm, we specify the nominal and master values for each
characteristic. The nominal value shouldn't be zero.
