__header__ The Gage Calibrate tool calibrates the gain or the offset of one or more probes.  Note: When calibrating the gain the offset is reset to zero.

Using the Gage Calibrate Tool

Drag the AnalogueIOCollection object off the ROT onto the IO section of the inputs page of the Gage Calibrate tool.  Use the dropdown menu to select the probe to calibrate.

The gain is calibrated by measuring 2 known distances.  On the parameters page enter the distances used for the calibration into CalibValue1 and CalibValue2.   Next, setup the probe for the first calibration distance then right-click the tool and choose Train Gain 1.  Setup the probe for the second calibration distance and choose Train Gain 2.  The distance for Gain 1 will be set to the value entered in CalibValue1 and for Gain 2, to the value entered in CalibValue2.

The offset can be set in two ways:
Dynamic Offset sets the current probe position to 0.  To set the dynamic offset right-click the tool and choose "Train Dynamic Offset"
Static Offset offsets the probe value by a defined number.  To set the static offset value enter a value into the OffsetValue section of the parameters page and then right-click the tool and choose "Train Static Offset".

The offset and gain can be cleared by right-clicking the tool and choosing "Train Offset Clear" and "Gain Offset Clear".
