3.7 Calibrating the Encoders
Calibration proce-
dure
Calibrate the encoders when using the DS2000 for the first time or when the
distance measured by the encoders deviates from the actual distance.
After 30 scans, it is recommended to calibrate the encoder of each wheel sepa-
rately. For a separate encoder calibration, lift one wheel during the calibration
procedure, then repeat the procedure with the other wheel. Compare the
results with the defined distance to ensure that both encoders work properly.
1. Inflate the tyres of the rear wheels to a pressure of 2 bar.
2. Measure out a distance of at least 10 m. The defined distance is used as a
reference for the calibration procedure.
Ensure that the laptop/tablet is connected to the control unit.
3. Turn on the control unit of the DS2000. Turn on the laptop/tablet and start
the Ouverture software.
4. Start the calibration procedure with the Ouverture software. (Refer to "
Procedure for calibrating the encoders" within "4.6.2 Hardware Settings").
5. Move the DS2000 along the defined distance.
6. Complete the calibration procedure with the Ouverture software and check
the calibration result. If necessary, repeat the calibration.
