add in the value for the calibration tool if applicable. Set up the tool as you would for calibration. Click on
Start Verification to start the process.
Once the verification has taken place, the computer will notify you if the verification has been passed or
failed. Regardless of passing or failing the verification, the computer will provide you with the difference
between the actual and measured values. In order to be successful, the actual and measured values
need to be within 0.2% over the full scale of 500 lbs (FOCUS Load Cell, UTM or Algometer) or within
0.1% over the full scale of 200 lbs (Hand grip, Pinch grip).
If the tool does not verify, click on Start Verification again. If the tool still does not verify on the second
try, re-calibrate the tool.
Auto Calibration
For Evaluator and CIRES systems, auto calibration can be set up. A floppy disk will be provided with the
system for this purpose. Follow the instructions on the disk to install this feature. Depending on how the
system is utilized, auto calibration will be effective for up to 3 months. Following this time period, the
factory settings are no longer accurate and manual calibration should be done.
To auto calibrate, click Auto, then click the tool you wish to calibrate and follow the instructions. When
auto calibration is set up it will include the voltage reading based on the tool you selected. Once you have
completed calibration, a window will prompt you to enter your name. If your name has been entered
under Administration ~ Practitioner Information, you will be able to select it from the drop down menu.
