... A PTC04 calibration board (PTC04-DB-Calib Supporting daughter board for calibration of PTC04 • programmer). The software has an automatic calibration feature. For this you need a Keithley 2000 or an Agilent (HP) 34401A multimeter. The Agilent 34401A multimeter is supported in the PTC04 User Interface revision 1.35 or higher. User manual calibration software PTC04 UI_0PTC04AAMLX Rev. 1.35 ...

... All other settings are set by the software via RS232 commands. Check Calibration of the programmer Now your PTC programmer is connected and you can start-up the MPT software. When the software is started, double click on PTC-04 in the UI modules list or select from the menu “Tools Figure 3: Melexis Programmable Toolbox. ...

... The software will search for all available devices. When a PTC programmer is found it will be initialized. Otherwise the software will display a notification that no PTC devices have been found and will enter the disconnected state. Figure 4: User Interface PTC-04. Calibration check This module of the PTC-04 User Interface is used to verify if the calibration parameters of the programmer are within tolerance ...

... Press Verify Calibration to start the calibration. • You are reminded to leave your PTC04 powered up for minimum minutes before starting the calibration. Press yes to continue. • User manual calibration software PTC04 UI_0PTC04AAMLX Rev. 1.35 Calibration Software PTC04 2 Figure 5: Calibration Check. Figure 6: Start Check? ...

... If you don’t use a Keithley 2000 or Agilent 34401A multi meter, you have to use a high accuracy voltmeter. The accuracy of the calibration depends on the precision of the voltmeter and the number of digits entered. With a manual voltmeter, the program will start with calibrating the internal voltmeter which will be used to check the PTC04 programmer. Press yes to continue. • ...

... If the Keithley 2000 or Agilent 34401A multimeter feature is not selected the program will ask you to put in a few values from your voltmeter manually. These are used to calibrate the first sensing line of the PTC- 04. This sensing line will be used as reference meter for the calibration check. ...

... There are three possible outcomes 1. The program notifies you that the current calibration is out of tolerance and ask you if you want to corrected the calibration parameters or not. If you press yes, the new calibration parameters are written into the PTC04. • If you press no, there are no modifications done. ...

... If the programmer was not at temperature, the following message is given advised not to calibrate (store the new calibration parameters in the programmer) when the programmer is not at operating temperature. This is important for the accuracy of the PTC04 programmer. If you press yes, the new calibration parameters are written into the PTC04. ...
Page 11
... When you choose to calibrate (press yes), the new calibration parameters are written into the PTC04. Afterwards the software verifies if the writing of the calibration data in the PTC04 was done correctly. Figure 17: The Calibration check has been ended successfully. Now the calibration check is completed. ...

... Measurement failed The following error message is shown during the calibration procedure; If there is a bad connection in the setup. For example: between the PTC04 main board and the • calibration board. When using a Keithley 2000 multimeter for the calibration, the failure can also be caused by a • ...

... A bad connection or any additional load will corrupt the calibration parameters. After checking the setup, restart the calibration check. If the same channel(s) fail(s) again it is • possible that there is hardware damaged on the PTC04. User manual calibration software PTC04 UI_0PTC04AAMLX Rev. 1.35 Calibration Software PTC04 ...

... Loggings Each time a calibration check is performed and the new correction parameters are saved in the PTC-04 programmer, the old and the new parameters are logged in a file called “Calibration Log.txt”. This file is for information purpose only and is not used by the PTC-04 programmer. ...
Page 15
... At the end of the calibration check these values, of the ADC channels and the DAC, are compared with the values stored in the PTC. If the parameters for offset and gain, that are currently stored in the PTC04, are out of specifications in comparison with the new correction parameters, the software gives a warning and asks if the new correction parameter may be saved ...
