Differential Pressure Piston Gauge
Software Setup
11
Note
If the LEM will be used with the RUSKA 2482, it is recommended that the
RUSKA 2482 Driver installation and verification be completed before
installing the LEM Driver. This will simplify the resolution of any
configuration issues that may arise.
Note
The RUSKA 2482 Window can function as a Stand-Alone program without
WinPrompt
®
. Simply close
Winprompt
®
and activate the DP2482.exe
from the File Manager. The DP2482.exe program is installed in the same
directory structure created for
WinPrompt
®
.
When communication is established between WinPrompt
®
and the RUSKA 2482,
the status bar in WinPrompt
®
will turn green and the grams reading in the RUSKA 2482
window will update. The status bar is located on the bottom and center of the
WinPrompt
®
window (see Figure 10).
Troubleshooting Communication Setup
1.
Verify the following in the RUSKA 2482 communications window:
a.
Port menu: select Com Port being used
b.
Address: Type
41
2.
Verify the serial cable is a straight through cable.
3.
Verify that the power is applied to the RUSKA 2482 instrument. The LED on the
RUSKA 2482 instrument will turn on when power is applied.
WinPrompt
®
Software
WinPrompt
®
performs pressure-to-mass and mass-to-pressure calculations for the
RUSKA 2482 Differential Pressure Piston Gauge. It provides the operator with the
pressure being generated by a required mass load while correcting for environmental
influences.
The RUSKA 2482 can be used without WinPrompt
®
by selecting the
DP2482.exe
directly from the directory in which WinPrompt
®
was installed.
Figure 11 shows a typical setup of WinPrompt
®
for a RUSKA 2482 calibration. The
Setup of WinPrompt
®
is described in the WinPrompt
®
manual. As an overview, the user
will set up several files and configure how WinPrompt
®
receives information. Most of
this setup is performed rather infrequently, and is typically required only when a
procedure is edited, a piston and mass set is being used for the first time, or when a piston
or mass set has been recalibrated. The environmental conditions for humidity, barometric
pressure, and ambient Temperature can be entered manually or the values can be acquired
from a RUSKA 2456-LEM Laboratory Environment Monitor.
