Overview

When using the Quick Measure feature in slats mode, you may encounter measurement errors greater than 1mm. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to calibrate P2/P2S's Quick Measure, ensuring that measurement error is reduced to within the acceptable limit of 1mm.

Before calibration

Troubleshoot 2 aspects

If these troubleshooting steps resolve the measurement error, calibration of the Quick-measure may not be necessary.

1. Ensure the material is flat and the slats are straight. If either is warped, adjust them or replace them.
2. Avoid using transparent or high-reflectivity materials for calibration, as these can cause measurement errors. If necessary, cover such materials with white paper.

Prerequisite

Required tools

1. A Windows or Mac computer.
2. xTool Creative Space (version 2.3 or above).
3. An infrared calibration tool.

• The tool can be requested for free from the xTool Support Team at Support@xTool.com.
• Alternatively, you may 3D print the tool using light-colored materials. For accurate calibration, paint or cover areas with black sponge (see Figure 1) in black. Download the 3D model file here: Calibration Tool 3D Model .

Calibration procedure

#1 Accessing device settings

• Open Device Settings by clicking the gear icon in the upper-right corner after connecting the computer to the machine.
• Based on your computer's operating system, press the corresponding keyboard shortcut to load the "Distance measurement":
  • For Windows: Ctrl+Shift+C
  • For Mac: Command+ Shift ⇧ +C

• In the Distance Measurement section, click Calibrate.

#2 Calibration method selection and preparation

• Select the corresponding calibration method.
  • In the Quick-measure section, click Calibrate.
    
    
     
  • Click Start to calibrate quick-measure.
    
    
     
  • Click Ready, next to proceed.
    
    
     
• Prepare the machine for the calibration process.
  • Install all slats on the device, skipping two slots between each two slats.
  • Place the calibration tool on the slats as shown on the Device preparations page.
  • When the preparation is ready, click Next.
     
    
     

#3 Red spot positioning and result comparison

• Red spot positioning
  In this step, you need to open the lid and reposition the calibration tool 3 times to let the red spot land on different sides of the tool.
  
  • Reposition the calibration tool to allow the red spot to fall on the 3mm side. Close the lid. Click Done.
    
    
     
  • Reposition the calibration tool to allow the red spot to land on the 6mm side. Close the lid. Click Done.
    
    
     
  • Reposition the calibration tool to allow the red spot to land on the 24mm side. Close the lid. Click Done.
    
    
     
  • Aftering completing these steps, click Next. The calibration process will begin automatically.
• Result comparison
  • If the graphics match, click Yes.  Calibration is successful.
    
    
    
     
  • If the graphics differ, click No and repeat the calibration steps.
