MTS Series 793 Tuning and Calibration
Pre-Calibration Considerations
Calibration Procedures 124
• When using linearized data, you must retain copies of the initial calibration
report (containing non-linearized data) and the calibration report after
applying linearization.
• When calibrating sensors that use a full-range conditioner, Electrical Zero
Lock on the Offset/Zero menu must be set to Lock. Readjustment of
electrical zero after calibration will change the point at which linearization
takes place, disturbing other calibration settings.
Default sensor file
locations
In MTS Series 793 software version 3.5x or earlier, the default location of sensor
calibration files is:
C:\MTS software product name (for example, “FTGT”)\calib
In MTS Series 793 software version 4.0 or later, the default location of sensor
calibration files is:
C:\MTS 793\Calibration Files.
Sensor calibration files
in Projects
A Project is a folder that contains or references files that are used and generated
by MTS 793 applications. When you start Station Manager, you select a Project.
By default, Projects do not contain sensor calibration files directly, but reference
their location in the Calibration Files subdirectory on disk.
You can use the Project Manager application to edit the Project Settings file to
change the location of sensor calibration files.
For more information about the Project Manager and Projects, see the MTS
Series 793 Control Software manual (PN 100-147-130) and the MTS Series 793
Controller Overview manual (PN 100-162-928).
