Calibration corrects any slight variances between sensors, helping to improve repeatability. Because of the linearity of LVDT Sensor output, a two-point calibration is simple. In applications where the LVDT is used on both sides of null, the calibration points should span the entire range of measurement. Traditionally, AC-operated LVDT Sensors were not easy to calibrate. Modern signal conditioners, like Macro Sensors EAZY CAL™ Signal Conditioner , offer a virtually effortless front panel fingertip routine for easy field calibration.
