Calibration
For most open air applications, the factory-set calibration should be correct.
Variations between the distance measured by the DCU-11 and the actual
distance are caused by environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity,
or chemical atmosphere. These environments can be compensated for by using
a calibration factor which calibrates the reading to match the actual distance.
MODE DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS
20 Distance Offset Units = Mode 1
Range = 0-9999
Default = 0
Sets an offset for the display when measuring distance to a level.
MODE DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS
21 Offset Polarity Range = NEG, POS
Default = NEG
Selects the direction of the offset. Adds or subtracts offset to reading.
MODE DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS
22 Calibration Range = 0-9999
above the Default = 1
Decimal Point
Sets the integer portion of the calibration factor.
MODE DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS
23 Calibration Range = 0-9999
below the Default = 0
Decimal Point
Sets the fractional portion of the calibration factor. (Decimal point is assumed
