In the “Details” window the user can check the calibration charts 

and calibrated analog values. The “Details” window consists of three 

sections:
1.  Analog calibrations
A good calibration should center both graphs, Master and Nonius, as 

close as  

possible to zero. The smaller the amplitude, the better the calibration. 

In case the analog electrical angle error is more than 12°  the analog 

calibration is considered to be failed.
2.  Analog calibration values
Analog calibration values are automatically calculated and set in 

the sensor.The user cannot change them but he can read them for 

verification purpose.  A green circle next to the value means that the 

value is within the recom-
mended range. Otherwise the circle is red and in the textbox to the right 

the 
user can see the corresponding error message.
3.  Nonius calibration
Max% and Min% represent the maximum and minimum percentage 

value from result regarding the range. If marked green, they are less 

than 80% of the range. If marked orange, they are between 80% and 

100%. Otherwise the mark is red. It is recommended to keep them 

less than 80% of the range. A better calibration has values of “Result”, 

“Error” and “Track” closer to zero.

Note that the red nE and the orange nW are active low bits.

Protocol Data Packet Information

The protocol data packet can be shown by connecting the sensor and then clicking on “Help” in the menu. 

After clicking on “Show Protocol Data Packet” the currently saved internal protocol configuration that has 

been set inside the sensor in both BiSS and SSI protocols will be shown.
The following two figures are examples of BiSS-C and SSI protocol packets

The data packet information in the window can be saved as a png-image-file by clicking on the graphic and 

choosing a disc place to save it.
