6-4  Calibration

ChartScan User’s Manual

If your data acquisition device interface is set up for Network (ethernet), you should
change the device interface to RS-232 serial communications prior to performing
calibration.  Refer to your hardware setup chapter as needed.

1.a    Select the DIP Switch toolbar icon to activate the Select & Verify Interface Setup window.  This

allows you to select and setup the communication interface used for your scanning system.

1.b  Choose the desired interface by clicking the top pull-down triangle (

τ

) and then selecting the applicable

interface from the expanded interface list.

1.c  Select the DIP switch image that represents your instrument’s DIP switch overlay.

1.d  Click the Verify box to make sure the settings are correct.

The Calibration Enable/Disable pushbutton (located on the main unit chassis rear panel) must be in
the indent (enable position) in order to calibrate the main chassis.

Early production ChartScan units (units that have no calibration pushbutton) must have DIP switch
#9 in the 1 (up) position.

After completing the prompt instructions, you can save the calibration settings by selecting the Save
Interface Parameters selection (from the File pull-down menu or toolbar).  The settings and
constants will be stored in a file with a .CAL extension.

2.  Select the Inventory icon from the toolbar to generate a list of items that make up your scanning

system.

3.  Select the items you wish to calibrate.

4.  Select the Calibration icon from the toolbar to initiate the automatic calibration process.  The ScanCal

program will prompt you through the calibration.  Be ready to supply the corresponding passwords
when prompted by ScanCal.

ScanCal contains a feature that allows you to view the calibration steps without performing an
actual calibration.  This is accomplished by using the Skip this Step button to skip a procedural
step(s).  When using this feature the existing calibration settings will not change.
