PASCO Specialty & Mfg. Materials Testing Machine ME-8236 用户手册

Model  No.ME-8236

 Appendix A: Calibration

The ‘calibration wizard” changes to show an illustration about how to 
install the calibration rod.

In addition to the illustration, a Graph display of Position (m) versus 
Force (N) opens. A Digits display of Force (N) is part of the Graph dis-
play.

•

Click Next to show Step Four: “Record a smooth data run”.

NOTE: To make a calibration that will accurately correct for compli-
ance, it is necessary to calibrate the Materials Testing Machine over the 
same range of force and the same conditions you expect to use when 
you are testing your samples.

•

Click Record and collect a smooth run of position versus force 
data. 

•

When the data collection is finished, click Stop.

REMINDER: If the run of data is not smooth, delete the run and try again.

NOTE: A Polynomial curve fit is automatically applied to the run of position versus 
force data.

Click Next to open Step Five, “Polynomial Fit”.
