Abstract

A method for calibration of the Chekan-AM gravimeter, the one that does not require any bench testing equipment, is proposed. Special software providing for automatic calibration and processing of the calibration results has been developed. The experimental verification of the proposed techniques has confirmed the feasibility of periodic calibration of the Chekan-AM gravimeter by the new method.
