ACTUAL MODE CALIBRATION

When FastCalXP is operating in Actual Mode, the Reference value that is taken for any point is the pressure reading from the reference at the moment that

the keyboard

Enter

key is pressed, the

Next Point button

is clicked, or the foot switch is pressed. Actual Mode is the easiest mode of operation for the novice

operator. Typically, this is the mode that will be used for calibration of digital gauges and transmitters.

With the Foot Switch

The optional foot switch will signifi cantly increase operation speed in Actual Mode since it enables hands-free storage of a measurement. Without the need

to use your hands to store a measurement manually, one hand can operate the comparator while the other taps the gauge. In all calibration modes, the foot

switch operates as the

Next Point button.

To Make an Actual Mode Measurement

1

Turn the handle of the comparator until the gauge reaches the Target Pressure.

2

Press the Foot Switch when the gauge needle points to the target pressure.

If you are matching the Target Pressure to the reference, you will have to enter the reading from the gauge in the Gauge box before you press

Enter.

To Re-measure a Profi le Step

Click on the

Previous Point button

and adjust the comparator to reach the target again.

Without the Foot Switch

Without the foot switch, you will need to work with one hand on the comparator and one hand on the keyboard or mouse.

To Make an Actual Mode Measurement
