MTS Series 793 - Manual (Page 200)

Description Item
Sets the type of calibration used for the feedback signal. Cal Type
The calibration types displayed in this list depend on the conditioner type
selected.
Important: When ordering replacement transducers from MTS, make
sure to use the sensor calibration file supplied with the transducer.
Gain/Delta-K - Select to use delta K for calibration of sensors. Allows you to
specify the amount of delta K applied to the sensor’s output signal.
Equally negative and positive inputs cause asymmetry in the sensor’s output
signal. Delta K compensates for this asymmetry.
Gain/Linearization (full-range conditioners only) - select this cal type
when you desire to use the legacy linearization algorithm.
Gain/Advanced Linearization (full-range conditioners only) – this cal
type uses an advanced linearization algorithm.
Important: MTS recommends using the newer Gain/Advanced
Linearization setting for all full-range conditioner calibration applications
for Series 494 FlexTest Controllers.
mV/V Pos Tension - Select when a sensor has been calibrated so that a
positive output represents actuator retraction (tension).
mV/V Pos Comp - Select when a sensor has been calibrated so that a positive
output represents actuator extension (compression).
The amount (expressed as a percent of full scale input) you can over drive
the input of the conditioner without saturating any of the electronics. Percent Over Range
The amount (expressed in % of full scale input) of zero suppression you can
apply without saturating the conditioner. Zero suppression is an electrical Zero Capability
(494.21 only)
offset that is applied to the transducer signal before it is summed with the
acceleration signal.
Sets the gain applied to the sensor’s output signal. Gain
Pre-Amp and Total gain cannot be adjusted with hydraulics on.
For mV/V Pos Tension and mV/V Pos Comp calibration types, Gain is a
read-only display.
Set the coarse gain applied. Pre-Amp
Sets the fine gain applied. This control’s range is user adjustable. Post-Amp
Displays the total gain applied. This value is a function of Pre-Amp and
Post-Amp values. Total
Entering a total gain value here causes the Station Manager application to
enter the Pre-Amp and Post-Amp values required to achieve this value.
The displayed value may vary slightly from the actual applied value (not
available for display).
