OpenScope MZ - Calibration

The OpenScope MZ uses software calibration to improve measurement accuracy and each OpenScope MZ is calibrated as part of the manufacturing process. The OpenScope MZdoes notneed to be re-calibrated before each use, however, calibration is recommended before the first use and when changing environments, especially if there is a large temperature variation between environments.

Calibration tables are saved in the OpenScope MZ flash in one of two locations:flashandSD. TheSDcalibration is intended to be overwritten by the user during normal use. Theflashcalibration is populated during manufacturing but it can also be overwritten. Calibration data is applied to the instruments when the OpenScope MZ boots. If theSDcalibration exists it will be applied. If not and theflashcalibration exists it will be applied. If neither theSDnorflashcalibrations exist the ideal calibration will be applied to the instruments.

Calibration Process

The OpenScope MZ is calibrated using WaveForms Live.

  1. LaunchWaveForms Live.
  2. Add the OpenScope MZto WaveForms Live.
  3. Click theMorebutton on the device card and selectConfigure.





  4. Under theCalibrationsection clickCalibrate.



  5. Device specific instructions are provided.
    1. Connect the solid red wire to the solid orange wire.
    2. Connect the solid white wire to the solid blue wire.
    3. ClickNextto begin calibration.



  6. The calibration process takes about 30 seconds.



  7. The calibration information is displayed. Select the desiredstorage location(flash is recommended) and clickSave. Then clickDone.



  8. The new calibration data has been applied to the instrument and will be applied at boot.
