Calibration view parameters

The
Calibration
view includes these parameters:
IMPORTANT:
Entering calibration mode causes all input channels to freeze at their current values and fault. Control may be impaired.
Parameter
Description
Channel
Displays the channel to which this configuration applies.
Calibration Range
Displays the range in which the channel will be calibrated based on the current device selected.
Calibration Range
 may also be fixed or dependent on the Input Range selected during configuration.
Calibration Gain
Displays the calibration gain correction factor currently being applied to the channel.
Calibration Offset (Counts)
Displays the calibration offset correction factor in DAC/ADC counts currently being applied to the channel.
Calibration Status
Indicates if the existing calibration for the channel is considered bad. A calibration is considered bad if:
  • The channel was never calibrated.
  • The channel failed and calibration was aborted during the last attempt to calibrate.
Start Calibration
Starts the calibration process. If you are using the 1756-OF4 or 1756-OF8 devices for current or voltage applications, select the appropriate
Output Range
 or
Input Range
 in the
Configuration
 view.
Available only when the controller is online.
Last Calibration Date
Displays the date on which the device was last successfully calibrated.
