5.5.1 Initiating a Test Move (Chart Correction)
The
<NORM LMV>
/
<TEST MOV>
soft key is used to toggle between the two-move balance solution
screen and the single-move balance chart correction screen. If
<NORM LMV>
is displayed, the two-
move solution is presented. Toggling the key to
<TEST MOV>
displays the correction screen, in which
the 8500C/C+ selects only one corrective move to be carried out before the next run. See S ection5.6.2
“Chart Corrections” on pa ge5-17 for a complete description of the chart correction procedure.
Once the test move is performed, the chart has been corrected for that particular aircraft. At any time
before the 8500C/C+ memory is cleared, this corrected chart may be saved to disk for the next time
this aircraft is balanced (instructions in Se ction5.6.2.2 “Storing Corrected Charts to Disk” on
page 5-18). Before another aircraft is balanced, clear the 8500C/C+ memory of this corrected chart
(
CLR CHARTS
) and start fresh with an uncorrected chart.
5.5.2 Alternate Solutions
The first solution that is presented may not always be optimal, requiring larger adjustments to the
balance points than theoretically possible. You may, however, view alternate balance solutions by
using the Arrow k eys to position the block cursor over any of the solution moves. Pressing the
ALTERNATE
soft key causes one of several alternative, yet equivalent, balance instructions to be
substituted for the selected text. Pick the optimal solution or the one that best suits your particular
situation. Note that some solutions may prove impractical, such as requiring the removal of weights
where there are none to remove.
5.5.3 Exiting the Solution Screen
When you are satisfied with the balance solution presentation and have carried out the required
corrective moves, press
START
to initiate the next balance run. If you would like to review the current
balance data, including balance history, charts and c hartinformation, corrections, and so on, or repeat
the measurement before starting the next run, press
SHOW MEAS
.
SHOW MEAS
displays a Balance Run Start-up screen, containing the latest balance measurements (see
Figur e5-12). To view the Solution screen again, press th
SOLUTION
soft key.
SHOW MEAS
always
returns you to the Balance Run Start-up screen.
Figure 5-12. Balance Run Start-up Screen
At this point, you may wish to repeat the balance measurement to verify that your actions were correct.
With the Balance Run Start-up screen displayed, press th
RED OMEAS
soft key to initiate a new
measurement. Note, however, that the current balance data is overwritten in the process.
