122 MTS Landmark™ Tabletop Load Units - Product Information
Performing Sensor Calibration
Calibration intervals depend on system requirements and are typically performed during scheduled
maintenance by MTS trained personnel. Contact MTS for additional information on sensor calibration.
Sensors can include LVDTs, load cells, and extensometers. All sensors require calibration to ensure
that their outputs accurately represent the physical condition they sense (that is, force or
displacement). When you calibrate a sensor, you are calibrating the test system to properly interpret
the sensor signal.
Sensors included with your test system are usually factory-calibrated, and the corresponding sensor
calibration files are included with your system software. If you change a sensor or add a new sensor to
your system, you must calibrate the new sensor/conditioner pair against a standard to ensure the
sensor’s accuracy.
Sensors must be calibrated before they can be used to support control modes or auxiliary
data channels.
