23.4 Sensor control
Instruction manual for MH & MH+M
This page of the software enables the visualisation of certain crucial parameters of the system in order to quickly determine the status of the instrument.
23.5 Reference mark control
In order to verify the sensor and its positioning regarding the measurement scale, make sure to activate the option “Lissajous” on the right side of the screen. You should then see a circle appear on the screen, as shown in the above picture. In order to control the sensor of your instrument, you only have to move your probe slowly up or down (avoid moving to the end stop), which will lead to the display of green points on the screen. A sensor has been correctly configured when you see a centred circle appearing.
On this page, the option “reference control” has to be activated first. Then slowly move the probe up or down. It is the same principle as the initialisation of the height gauge after turning on the instrument. The encoder has to pass in front of the control mark defined on the scale
(at a height of approximately 15 cm from the base). If the mark is detected, a beep is generated and a green point is displayed on the screen.
