Output Calibration section
On the Devices tab, the user can perform Output Calibrations for each device.
On this page:
- New Output Calibrations can be created (1)
- Existing Output Calibrations can be edited and / or deleted (2)
- The list of Output Calibrations can be sorted and filtered
based on Name, Machine, Energy, Factor, and Date & time (3)
- An Output Calibration is Active if there is a filled checkbox in the Active column (4)
Open the Output Calibration menu
to Deactivate / Activate, Duplicate, Renew, or Delete an Output Calibration
- Click the
IMPORTANT NOTICE
It is recommended to validate the calibration before using it for actual measurements.
Create Output Calibration
The procedure for creating an new Output Calibration can be found in the Measurement procedure. See Section 7.1.4.
Duplicate Output Calibration
To Duplicate an Output Calibration, open the Output Calibration menu
In the Duplicate output calibration dialog select the machine for the Output Calibration.
Please note, duplication is only possible if the target machine has the same energy as the source machine which was used to create the calibration.
- Click Save to create the duplicate calibration, or Cancel to exit the dialog.
- A new output calibration with the same properties of the original has now been created.
Activate or Deactivate an Output Calibration
Only one Output Calibration for a given combination of Device / Machine / Energy can be active at any time. It will be automatically used by the system to calibrate measurements. A manual selection of the Output Calibration to be used in a measurement is not possible.
To Activate an inactive Output Calibration, open the Output Calibration menu
from the dropdown menu.- The Output Calibration will now appear as Active.
To Deactivate an active Output Calibration, open the Output Calibration menu and select Deactivate from the dropdown menu.
- The Output Calibration will now appear as Inactive.
Renew an Output Calibration
Select Renew from the Output Calibration menu.
See Section 7.1.4 for the detailed Output Calibration procedure.
- The Create output calibration dialog opens. If a device is already connected, the user is taken directly
to the Parameters page (Step 2). - Optional: Update the measurement parameters.
- Run the Output Calibration Measurement.
- Click the Save output calibration button
, The new measurement will appear in the list of available Output Calibrations.
Delete an Output Calibration
Select Delete from the Output Calibration menu.
Click Delete in the dialog to confirm the action.
If an Output Calibration is deleted, it will be retained by all measurements for which it was used. It is still possible to see the Output Calibration factor in the details of these measurements. However, it will be not possible to see the Output Calibration name and date.
