Setting the correction factor
To set the correction factor:
1. Set one or more axes to Linear Error Compensation as
described in Error compensation on page 5-3.
The display shows ‘Err SEt’.
2. Press the Select Key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’ to enter the
setup procedure for that axis.
The display shows ‘LC 0’, or a previously entered value.
For example: Press [4] [0] [0] [±] [ent] to enter a Correction
Factor of
−400 ppm.
3. Press [ent] again.
The display returns to ‘Err SEt’.
4. If required, press the Select Key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’ to
enter the setup procedure for another axis.
You cannot establish the Correction Factor while in Setup
Mode. You need to carry out the measurements in Normal
Operating Mode, then enter Setup Mode to set the Correction
Factor.
The value you set must be in the range
−9999 to 9999.
If you make a mistake while entering a number, pressing [ce]
clears the entry one character at a time.
RS232 options
RS232 was added as a standard feature to the C80 in March
2005.
The C80 DRO can offer basic RS232 communications via a
dedicated hardware RS232 compatible port.
You select the baud rates for communications from the following
options:
300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400
There are three RS232 modes:
No RS232. This is the default condition. All the RS232
functions are disabled and there are no outputs.
Continuous Output. From the menu structure you define the
frequency of the output. The options are 0.1 – 60.0 in steps of
0.1 second.
Keyed Output. For this option the axes data is transmitted
when you press the [ent] key, without having pressed the
preceding keys. Thus you do not need to use a function key.
Output data format
The output data from the RS232 is as follows:
• The current axis data for the axes available on the system
are transmitted
