Page 52: Preparing A Measuring Drive
KiRoad Performance – electronics unit for WFTs, Type 9817B... Preparing a measuring drive Before any measurement is started, the WFT system must have been switched on for at least half an hour and the WFT must have cycled through at least two full revo- lutions to synchronize the angular measurement and to correct angle counting. - Page 53 Operation The final step before starting a measurement is Signal Offset Drive. The signals which do not depend on the angle of rotation of the WFT (Fy and My) are set to zero. For angle-dependent signals (Fx, Fz, Mx and Mz) the static part of the sinusoidal signal is subtracted.
