Question
What does manually calibrated mean?
3.x
Sensor Model | All |
Firmware Version |
3.x to 6.x |
SDK Version | n/a |
When you manually enter the encoder resolution and/or transformation settings, the Calibration status in the Layout panel is set to Manually Calibrated in the Gocator web interface.
Answer for more modern versions like 4.x., 5.x or 6.x
As all LMI sensors are metrically calibrated at the factory, they do not need to be calibrated in the software, only aligned. This can be done automatically with the help of alignment routines, but can also be done manually.
If you do a manual or guided alignment, the sensor is just reporting in both cases "Aligned"
Question:
How can I do an automatic alignment?
In man cases, calibrations can be done with the help of the Alignment dialog:
a)
Unaligned sensor, caused by tilted hardware mounting
b)
Automatic alignment: You can run various alignment procedures, depending on the setup and your requirements.
In this case, a stationary alignment on a flat surface was done, (for this method three degrees of freedom were compensated).
Done!
More details you will find in the manual in the chapter "Aligning sensors"
Question:
How can I do an manual alignment?
Sometimes it is not possible to use the Alignment wizzard methods. You can still do manual alignment correction:
a)
Unaligned sensor, profile line tool detecting the sensor tilt on a flat surface
The reported tilt is this example: -1.924 degrees
b)
Manual alignment: Use any measurement results and add it to the sensor transformation parameters:
You will find it in scan parameters > Sensor > Active area.
Here you can manually paste your correction factors.
The sensor s reports again the status "Aligned". In this case, only a Y angle correction was done.
