MTS Systems FlexTest SE Service Information

Model 493.02 Controller Service
Calibrating Encoders
Calibration

For Automated systems, you can also use the Station Signals
panel to monitor sensor output. On the Station Manager Display
menu, select Station Setup. In the navigation pane, select Station
Signals to display the Station Signals panel to monitor current
values for user-defined signals.
For more information on using the Station Signals panel, refer to
“About the Station Signals Panel” in Chapter 3, Station Manager of
the Model 793.00 System Software manual.
Task 2 Create a calibration file
Note If you already have a sensor calibration file, skip this task.
Note This task applies to automated FT SE controllers only
This task creates a sensor calibration file and sets up any ranges you
may want. An encoder does not require ranges, its resolution is always
the same.
See “How to Create a Sensor File” in Chapter 3, Station Manager of the
Model 793.00 System Software manual for a detailed procedure.
Setting encoder
resolution
In the Resolution box, enter the encoder resolution supplied in the
encoder documentation.
Note If want to use units different than those supplied in the sensor
documentation, enter the full scale and resolution in the supplied
units first, and then switch to the desired full-scale units. The units
conversion will be calculated automatically.
Task 3 Assign a calibration file
Note This task applies to automated FT SE controllers only
This task links a sensor calibration file (created in Task 2) to a
hardware resource. The purpose for this is to select one of the sensor
ranges for the input signal definition.
See “How to Assign a Sensor File” in Chapter 3, Station Manager of the
Model 793.00 System Software manual for a detailed procedure.
