Slope/Intercept Offset
If the asphalt sample gradation has changed, the original
calibration can be adjusted with the slope/intercept offset
(Figure 6). Two samples of known %AC must be prepared and
tested in the gauge. The gauge calculates a new curve slope and
intercept based on the offset samples. The original calibration
will be adjusted by the calculated slope and intercept. This
method enables the user to quickly adjust a calibration when
more than three samples were used for the original calibration.
NOTE
An original 2-point calibration can also be performed
using the two offset samples.
Press 〈SHIFT〉 and 〈8〉 for the Offset display:
Exit by pressing 〈3〉.
If the calibration number is known, press 〈2〉. To perform
the offset, select the type of offset and follow the gauge
prompts.
