Calibrate Sample - Minimum Time Data
Accumulation
The Calibrate Sample function provides a real-time report of the active
measurement performance of all the operational sensors on the Scanning Platform.
The data collection operates in parallel with the normal measurement processing
taking place so that there is no interference with data being delivered to the host
computer system. The Calibrate Sample procedure is available any time the
measurement head is on-sheet and measuring.
There are two methods of operation:
• Holding the Calibrate Sample push button down for the duration of the data
collection. The Calibrate Sample push button is the “scissors” push button
located on the Frame Control Panel. You can hold down the push button for as
long as desired, with no upper limit.
• Press and release the Calibrate Sample push button and allow the internal timer
to dictate the duration of the data collection.
The default time in the inspect utility shows up as a 0, which the system converts
to a minimum time of five seconds. To make this time longer, follow the steps
below:
1. Activate the inspect utility.
2. Check the current minimum Calibrate Sample time by typing:
fhi01→ calSampMinTime
If a 0 or less than 5, the minimum time will be five seconds.
3. Enter in the desired minimum sample time:
fhi01 → calSampMinTime=xx
Where: xx is any time greater than five seconds.
4. Verify the change by placing the head on-sheet and measuring. Then, press
and release the Calibrate Sample push button. The push button LED should
remain lit for the time just entered in Step 4 plus a five-second settle time.
5. Save the change by performing a gstore to the Frame Human Interface
Community (fhi01).
