4.0 Calibration Tools
ScCMP provides some core tools for configuring and setting up a ScaleCore product. These tools include Sensor
Calibration, DAC Calibration and Manual DAC control for testing.
4.1 Sensor Calibration
ScCMP provides a nice visual interface for performing the available types of sensor (Load Cell) calibration to
ensure the ScaleCore product is accurate. The available methods of calibration are:
• Initial Calibration – Enter scale capacity, resolution, and unit of measure in addition to setting zero and span
reference calibration points.
• Re-Calibration – Using current scale capacity, resolution, and unit of measure to enter new zero and span
reference calibration points.
• Cal-Number – Enter a reference calibration number without the requirement of test weights.
The ScCMP sensor (load cell) calibration interface is divided into two sections. The left provides the Calibration
Status interface. This shows the currently selected load cell sensor. The current ADC (Analog to Digital converter
count) and calibrated weight value. The calibration status, and any calibration error code received from the
ScaleCore device. Plus controls to read the current Cal-Number value of a calibrated load cell sensor.
The right pane provides the calibration controls interface. At the top of this will be some brief instructions for what
each calibration step requires.
