Appendix A: Calibration

NOTE: By default, the “Show Curve Fit Editor” window is open in the 
“Polynomial Fit” window. The Curve Fit Editor window shows the 
default values for the coefficients of the polynomial.

In the Curve Fit Editor window you can change the “Number of Terms”, 
enter an “Initial Guess” for each coefficient and lock or unlock a coeffi-
cient value. 

•

If the message “Curve fit was successful” is shown, click Next to 
open Step Six, “Name the calibration”. 

NOTE: If the curve fit was not successful, use “trial-and-change” in the 
Curve Fit Editor to adjust the coefficients until the curve fit is successful. 
Click “Update Fit” to determine if the new coefficients made a better 
curve fit

•

Type a name for the calibration in the text area. (Example names 
might be “Calibration 7000” or “Tension Calibration”.) 

•

Click Finish to store the calibration as part of the Capstone file.

NOTE: The “Calibration” window goes back to Step One. When you 
click Next, the “Choose Calibration Action” window (Step Two) will show a menu of the saved and/or stored calibration(s). 

•

Click “Use Calibration” and select a specific saved calibration 
from the pull down menu below “User Calibration”, or click 
“Import Calibration From Sensor” to load a selected stored calibra-
tion from the pull down menu below “Import Calibration From 
Sensor”.

•

Click Finish. The “Calibration” window goes back to Step One.

•

Click the “Calibration” icon in the Tools palette to close the “Cali-
bration” window. Save the Capstone file for future use.
