There are the following types of calibration for the FAB machine:
-
Weight calibration. Ensures proper standardization of weight measurement between machines. For better accuracy, it is recommended to perform weight calibration approximately every month.
-
Zero point calibration. Resets measurements to zero. For better accuracy, zero point calibration is required before testing every sample.
Calibration is done as part of the process of adding a new fabric to DB Admin. The following image displays the screen ready to start calibration.
Note
-
Supported by DB Admin 1.6 and newer
-
Disabled if weight calibration has been completed on the machine within the previous month
-
Remove any sample from the machine and close the clamps. Then click Start. Calibration begins.
-
Stand the machine on its short side with the fixed clamp nearest the ground. Then click Next.
-
Put the 100gm weight on the fixed clamp. Then click Start.
The following image shows a side view of how to position the machine and the weight.
-
Remove the weight from the clamp and put the machine back to its original position. Then press Next.
Calibration is complete when a blue tick appears on the screen.
Continue with Zero Point Calibration.
Note
For better accuracy, perform calibration before testing every sample.
To perform this calibration:
-
Remove any sample fabric from the machine.
-
Ensure the clamps are either fully open or fully closed. There is no need to tighten the knobs.
-
Click Start. Calibration begins.
-
Calibration is complete when a blue tick appears on the screen.
-
Click Next to continue.
