The final tab under the Information Tabs section of the Calibration / Verification interface is the Test tab. Here is where you obtain and
record your Offset readings (First and Final Unfixtured Zero Readings), and also where you will view the Uncertainty and Zero Return
values generated by your test results.
Under the Offsets section of the Test tab window is
where you will take your unfixtured zero readings,
both the First and the Final Zero Readings. To do
this you can either click into the text box next to the
Zero reading you wish to take and press Enter; or
you can click into the box and click on the Un-Fixtured
button to the right of the text box. Either way your
unfixtured zero reading will appear in the text box.
Under the Results section of the Test tab window is
where you will come to view the Uncertainty factor
calculated for your particular test results. This is
also where you will come to view the Zero Return
value as a percentage of Full Scale.
The Test Grid makes up the other half of the Calibration
/ Verification interface window.
Here is where you will define which Channel you have
connected your Reference Sensor to, and which you
have connected your Test Sensor to.
It is also where you will define which Units you want to
use to measure your Load and your Output.
This is the Test Grid where you perform your tests and
view your outputs.
There are also buttons available here for you to Tare
your display, take a Gross reading, and Cancel
the Current Test.
