DGT Centaur Calibration

Post by Bryan Whitby »

A few weeks ago I had problems with my Centaur and DGT kindly sent me the following document to try and solve my problem.
I thought that it might be a handy bit of information for fellow Centaur owners.

Thank you Bryan

This is very useful. Specially it shows date and version number.

I did receive my Centaur today.

Thanks to Bryan I got in to the test screen. Everything functions as expected.

I did not get a date on my test screen as in the above document.
All I got is firmware and software versions. FW:5.7 SW:1.2 (1551)

The circles are slightly visible. I have seen some youtube videos with no circles visible at all
but it could be just the lighting in the video.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a version 2 device. I am not going to mod it during the warranty period.

Adaptive regards
Murat

Hello Murat,

J'ai mon Centaure version 2 depuis un an et demi environ.

Sur cette nouvelle version les cercles sont quasiment invisibles. On peut seulement deviner sur les cases, selon l'angle de la lumière, des sortes de carrés conducteurs du signal. Mais rien de gênant à ce stade.

J'ai bien vu le document intéressant posté par Bryan, mais je ne peux le traduire...

Bonjour Guy.

Je suis sûr que la DGT aura le même document en français.
Envoyez un e-mail à l'assistance support@dgt.nl
Demandez le guide de l'outil de diagnostic DGT Centaur en français.

Hello Murât,

J'ai envoyé un email au support DGT en demandant un guide de l'outil diagnostic en français.
Ils viennent de me répondre très rapidement en m'informant qu'il n'existe que ce guide en anglais.

Sniff !... :?

Imprimez le document. Tapez ensuite les sections dans Google Translate.

Fais attention. S'il n'est pas cassé, ne le réparez pas.

Bonne chance.

Merci beaucoup Murât.

Mon épouse qui a de bonnes connaissances en anglais vient de me le traduire et je n'ai plus qu'à mettre le texte au propre dans un dossier.
Mais mon Centaur fonctionne très bien et je ne vais faire aucun test pour le moment... :wink:

J'étais sur le point de publier ces images mais évidemment vous n'en avez pas besoin maintenant mais elles pourraient peut-être être utiles à nos autres membres français.

I was about post these images but obviously you don't need them now but they maybe might be helpful for our other French members.

Regards
Bryan

Many thanks Bryan ! :D

Now it's even more precise.

My DGT Centaur seems to be working fine at the moment.
Is there any danger in testing it anyway with this diagnostic guide ?

Hi Guy

As it’s DGT official diagnostic procedure then it will be fine to use.
If your Centaur is working ok and your a bit hesitant to use it, then obviously wait until you get a problem.

Diagnostic regards
Bryan

J'ai adapté plusieurs jeux de pièces en bois pour le Centaur avec des adhésifs appropriés leur donnant une finition très propre (même si le dessous des pièces ne se voit pas...)
Cet ensemble de pièces convient très bien puisque l'appareil fonctionne tout à fait correctement.
Je vais donc en rester là pour le moment.
