For a description of all Scale/Offset Calibration Utilities, see Using the Scale/Offset Calibration Utilities. To use the SSI Scale/Offset Calibration Utility:
Gather the following pieces of information for an axis:
The desired number of position units per inch, millimeter, or centimeter
The resolution of the transducer and its units (e.g. 0.005 mm)
The transducer counts at your desired zero position
Whether you wish to have your position units increase or decrease with increasing counts
Place the cursor in a field under the axis you wish to calibrate.
From the Tools menu, click SSI Scale/Offset Calibration.
Enter the above pieces of information.
Under Extend/Retract Limits, choose how you wish to have the limits set:
If you had the extend and retract limits set correctly, click Use current limits, adjusted for new Scale and Offset to adjust the limits for your new Scale and Offset.
Otherwise, click Enter limits above and type the limits in the text boxes.
Click Apply, which sets the Scale, Offset, the Prescale Divisor bits of the Configuration word, Extend Limit, and Retract Limit.
Click Done.
Issue a 'P' command for the axis to have the new parameters take affect.
