Calibrate in the Instron Video Extensometer application
8800 or ElectroPuls testing systems using the 8800T or 8800D controller use the
Instron Video Extensometer application for calibration. You cannot calibrate the AVE2 or
SVE2 from Bluehill
®
.
The Instron Video Extensometer application is supplied with the video extensometer
instrument, separately from any other software, such as Bluehill
®
.
The following procedures describe how to calibrate the video extensometer:
• using the tabbed dialog version of the Instron Video Extensometer Application
(resembles the Bluehill
®
3 user interface)
• using the touch-enabled version of the Instron Video Extensometer Application
(resembles the Bluehill
®
Universal user interface)
Calibrate using tabbed dialog
You should calibrate the extensometer upon initial start up and also after you change
anything in the setup, such as changing a lens or changing the position of the AVE2.
This procedure requires a calibration bar. If you are using a 6mm lens, then two
calibration bars are required.
1. Start the video extensometer by pressing the power button on the front. The light bar
illuminates.
2. If it is not already open, launch the Instron Video Extensometer application. The video
extensometer dialog displays.
Additional requirements Limits must be set in 8800/ElectroPuls Console, cannot be set
in Bluehill
