CALIBRATION
The InSpec 9000 is calibrated at the factory. This calibration should last several months with
normal use. The data on the setup card that was received with the unit transfers the calibration
information to the InSpec calibration database. However, the calibration of the unit should be
periodically verified. See “Calibration Verification” below for the procedure. If calibration is
required, then a new setup card will be sent to the user by MagTek based on information
provided by the user. The procedure to obtain the required information is as follows:
1.
From the Main Screen select from the following headers: Card Stock, System, Shift.
These headers have been preset at the factory for use with the “test card”.
Note
The names Card Stock, System, and Shift may have been changed
to suit the institution’s requirements (See “Card Stock, System,
Shift” above).
2.
Click on the read button to read the “test card”.
3.
From the ISO Parameters bar chart screen, click on “Numerical” to obtain the numerical
screen, then click on “Print”. If a printer is not available, the Average Amplitude,
Average Bit Size, and Start Sentinel values must be manually transcribed for the three
tracks. Close the numerical screen, then click on “Add” to exit from the “ISO
Parameters” bar chart screen.
4.
Repeat the above until 10 reads of the “test card” are completed.
5.
From the “View” menu, click on “setup database”. Click on “Print”, then click on
“Close”. Again, if a printer is not available, transcribe the information manually.
6.
Copy (either manually or from a copier) the test card serial number and the data from the
form supplied with the card.
Send the printed (or written) results and the card from the above procedure to the following
address:
