Set gain code Setting the gain code is used with LVDT sensors. The gain value should be taught first
and setting the gain should be used if more or less resolution is desired. The position
may not be as stable when too much resolution is used. Setting the gain to a value that
is too small may not give enough resolution.
To set the gain code :
Click inside the Gain code text field.
Delete the current value.
Enter the new value.
Click the «OK» button.
A dialog window appears requesting to hold the sensor at the min position.
Click the «Cancel» button if only the gain code needs to be set, otherwise click the
«OK» button and set the minimum and maximum positions.
Set measured
minimum or maximum The measured minimum and measured maximum value is used with analog devices
and LVDT sensors. The calculation of the resolution for analog devices will be done by
interpolating the signal minimum and signal maximum over the measured minimum
and measured maximum. The calculation of the resolution for LVDT sensors will be
done by prompting the user to move the sensor to the mechanical minimum and
maximum before interpolating.
To set the measured minimum and maximum values for analog devices:
Click inside the Measured min. text field.
Delete the current value.
Enter the minimum value.
Click inside the Measured max. text field.
Delete the current value.
Enter the maximum value.
Click the «OK» button.
The resolution will be updated with the interpolated value.
The calibration time-stamp will be updated with the current date and time.
A message verifying the action is displayed in the message area.
