Transducer Calibration
The DC conditioner and the transducer signal must be calibrated.
Calibration ensures that the transducer signal accurately represents the
gage length measure by the transducer. Calibration involves adjusting
the excitation voltage and gain of the DC conditioner to achieve the
desired transducer signal. The purpose of calibration is to equate a
specific transducer displacement to a specific voltage. When the
transducer is calibrated, it is matched to a DC conditioner. If either
component of the matched pair is changed, recalibration is required.
Clip-On Gage Accessories
Accessories available for the transducers include the following:
• A Model 650.03 Extensometer Calibrator can help with the
local calibration of any transducer. An optional fixture for
clip-on gages is available for the calibrator.
• Extra sets of knife edges are available.
