Calibration File

Calibration Files in Configuration Manager

You can specify both a 1D and 2D calibration file for the controller. The calibration files have a *.cal extension, but the file must be processed into a binary format that the controller can use.

Processing a Calibration File

To process a calibration file, under the User Files node or one of its subfolders, right-click the calibration file (*.cal) and click Process Calibration File.

If the file is successfully processed, a new file appears in the same folder as the original file you just processed. This file should have a *.cx1 extension if the original was a 1D file or a *.cx2 extension if the original was a 2D file.

Setting the Calibration File on a Controller 

  1. Process the .cal file as described in Processing a Calibration File.
  2. Click and drag the processed *.cx1 or *.cx2 file onto the controller's File System node. (Refer to File System.)
  3. Select the Calibration node of the appropriate controller under the Controllers node.
  4. Select the 1D Calibration File or 2D Calibration File row in the Viewer.

5. Enter the name in the Editor of the appropriate *.cx1 or *.cx2 file that is located on the controller's File System

OR

6. Click Browse in the Editor and select the appropriate *.cx1 or *.cx2 file.

7. Click Set.

OR

From the User Files node of Network Explorer, click and drag the calibration file (unprocessed *.cal or processed *.cx1/*.cx2) onto the Calibration node of the appropriate controller under the Controllers node. If you use a .cal file, the system will automatically process the file into a binary (*.cx1 or *.cx2) format. (Refer to Processing a Calibration File.)

After setting a calibration file using either method described above, the Commit Parameters window appears. Click Yes to commit parameters now. Click No if you do not want to commit the parameters.

If you select Yes to commit the parameters, the controller must be reset before the calibration values take effect. The Confirm Reset Controller window will appear. Click Yes if you want to immediately reset the controller. Click No if you want to reset the controller later.
