FIELD (cont.) DESCRIPTION
Automatic
Calibration Point
Acceptance
Check if you want MC4 to automatically
accept calibration points. See also addi-
tional settings further on in this table and
chapter Accepting Calibration Points
Automatically on page 178.
Setpoint Delay
All instruments have a response time for a
change in the output after the input was
changed. The response time varies de-
pending on the instrument type and its fil-
tering settings etc.
In automatic calibration, MC4 needs to wait
until the response time has passed. Oth-
erwise the instrument's output is read too
soon.
Enter a setpoint delay that suits the instru-
ment. If you are not sure what the re-
sponse time is, test the instrument in basic
mode. Change the input signal to get an
approximation of the response time.
This field is active only if previous Check
box is set.
Max Point Devia-
tion
Defines the input signal's allowed deviation
(+/-) from the current calibration point (per-
cent of input span). When inside this "tar-
get area", the calibration point is automati-
cally accepted (if applicable).
The target area is shown as a grey vertical
bar in the Graphics View. Note that zero
deviation means you do not see the target
area while calibrating in Graphics View

Stable Output
Measurement
When checked, MC4 monitors the stability
of the output signal when accepting cali-
bration points.
