Tips on the Software and Calibration
• For radial and axial orientation it is recommended to use constant velocity as much as possible and the
calibration duration should cover at least 4 pole pairs.
• For linear calibration the sensor should at least cover four pole pairs. The user can use the “Calibration
Duration” to cover the desired measuring area.
• Linear calibration delay is a user preference. It can be chosen as desired to provide time before the
calibration starts. This delay can be helpful to make sure that the sensor starts moving at the end of the
delay.
• The “Iteration” parameter is for analog and nonius calibration where more than one calibration is
recommended and the default is three iterations.
• A backup of the sensor parameters can be saved on the PC by clicking “File” and after that “Save Config”.
Later the user can use this backup for reprogramming the sensor with the same parameters. Therefor the
user has to click on “File” and then on “Load Config”.
Note: The sensor should be connected to the PC before saving or loading configurations.
• The connected sensor serial number, the product order code and parameter descriptions can be found
under “Help”, then “Product Information”. Note: The sensor should be connected before retrieving the
product information.
• If you are facing a problem then please make sure that Logging is allowed by verifying the check box.
Follow the path “File”, “Preference” and activate “Allow Logging”. Then click on “Help” and “Send Report”
where you can enter a short description of your problem. We will process your inquiry as soon as we get it.
Note: This report will be sent by using your local Outlook account. If this is not possible then an instruction
will be shown.
Commissioning
After mounting the distance measuring system or after replacing the sensing head, verify general system
operation as follows:
• recalibrate the sensing head,
• switch on the supply voltage of the sensing head,
• move the sensing head along the entire measurement path or revolution,
• check that all signals are present at the output,
• check if the count direction matches the traversing/revolution direction. If this is not the case please mark
the checkbox in the main window of the software.
Maintenance
The functionality of the measuring system and all related components must be reviewed and recorded
regularly. For more information and data sheets please visit our website: www.bogen-magnetics.com
