documents or PDF documents if Adobe Acrobat is installed.
The Report Editor is accessed by: selecting [Data] , [Report Editor] from the ADCS Tools
Main Menu or pressing the [Generate Report] button in the Test Complete form at the end
of a test. In all cases the Report Editor runs as a separate application and may be closed at
any time without affecting the operation of
ADCS Tools .
4.4.6 RUNNING A MODEL 3682 AIR DATA CALIBRATOR
ADCS Tools is preconfigured to support automated validation (calibration) and standardization of
the King Nutronics 3682 Air Data Calibrator.
See Section 4.4.6.1 to validate (calibrate) the model 3682. See Section 4.4.6.2 to standardize the
model 3682.
4.4.6.1 RUNNING A VALIDATION (CALIBRATION)
When the ADCS-601 is connected to the model 3682 ADC, do not execute any
function on the 3682 that will cause it to vent pressure unless the ADCS-601 is
vented first. Causing pressure on the ADCS-601 TEST(+) port to vent when the
ADCS-601 is not vented may cause damage to the ADCS-601.
NOTE: The ADCS-601 is always vented before the model 3682 vents if the
procedures below are followed as instructed.
The model 3682 validation procedure automatically runs the model 3682 through
the required pressure sequence and records actual and test pressure at each
point. If the Ps transducer is being run, the
<Offset Check Point> can be
executed before the pressure sequence. When the sequence is complete, the
results of the test are stored in a test data file and a report is generated.
To run the validation test proceed as follows:
Turn OFF the model 3682, open the console door and set the
RUN / CAL / DIAG switch to CAL .
Connect and IEEE-488 cable (GPIB) from the IEEE-488 connection on the
front of the ADCS Control Cabinet to the model 3682 front panel IEEE-488
connection.
Turn the model 3682 back ON and allow one hour warm up to complete.
Set the ADCS-601 to absolute measurement mode using the [MODE] button
on the ADCS Tools Main Run Screen .
Vent the ADCS-601 using the [VENT] button on the ADCS Tools Main Run
Screen .
Enter the appropriate <Upper Limit> value on the ADCS Run Screen . Enter
32 inHg when calibrating the Ps transducer and 110 inHg when calibrating
the Pt transducer.
Connect the ADCS-601 TEST(+) port to the 3682 <Ps> or <Pt> port.
Select [Run] [Run Test Definition] in ADCS Tools .
Select <inHg> as the unit of measure and press [Next] . If the same test was
previously run with the same instrument and pressure range, press [Finish]
to automatically use the previous settings.
