Calibration
About Automatic Calibration
Automatic calibration is possible when MC5-IS is able to generate/
simulate the input signal.
Automatic calibration is selected in the Calibration Method field
on the Instrument Data pages. More information on editing instru-
ment data is in chapter Editing Instrument Data on page 120.
In Automatic calibration MC5-IS generates/simulates the input
signal. When the input signal is within the Maximum Allowed Cali-
bration Point Deviation limits, MC5-IS waits for the output signal
to stabilize (the Setpoint Delay setting). Then the calibration point
is accepted automatically and MC5-IS continues with the next cali-
bration point.
If the input signal never stabilizes (the
symbol is visible con-
tinuously), but you want MC5-IS to save the results anyhow, press
the B/Force Accept Function Key.
About Manual Calibration
In manual calibration, you will have to manually set the input signal
to a level that the next calibration point requires. Manual calibration
is possible in almost all situations. Even for calibrations that could
be done automatically.
If the input signal is measured, the input signal window displays a
“Desired Input Value X.xxxx” text to help you remember what is
the next target value.
If the input signal is generated/simulated, MC5-IS automatically
changes the input signal to the next target value, but does not con-
tinue until you manually accept the point.
Use the B/Accept Readings Function Key to save the point data
and continue to the next point until all points are accepted.
Note.
If the calibration points are defined for the output signal, set the
input signal to such a level that the instrument to be calibrated cre-
ates the required output signal.
