GSi TYMPSTAR 1, Service Manual

Page: 105 / 224

This section contains the following:
• Calibration requirements
• Complete calibration sequence
• Routine calibration sequence
• Calibration procedures
• Loading default data and Self-Cal
• Contra, Ipsi and probe tone calibration
• Y calibration
• Pressure system calibration
Calibration is typically performed as a complete calibration sequence or as a routine
calibration sequence.
A complete calibration sequence must be performed if the following:
• A performance problem is suspected
• A repair has been made to the TympStar involving the digital board,
analog board, PC104 board, probe box or transducers
The complete calibration sequence must include the following:
• Loading default data and performing Self-Cal
• Contra, Ipsi and probe tone SPL calibrations
• Y calibration
• Pressure system calibration
Upon completion of a complete calibration sequence, return to the normal mode
and check compliance calibration at 0 daPa. Then re-enter the Cal Mode and
verify that Ipsi and Contra sound pressure levels are within the specified accuracy.
Attenuator linearity and distortion can also be checked in this mode.
A routine calibration sequence should be performed quarterly or annually and in-
Cludes the following:
• Checking the Contra, Ipsi and probe tone SPL calibration and recalibrating
if necessary
• PerformingYcalibration
• Checking the pressure system calibration and recalibrating if necessary
Upon completion of a routine calibration sequence, return to the normal mode and
check compliance calibration at 0daPa. Then re-enter the Cal Mode and verify that
Ipsi and Contra sound pressure levels are within the specified accuracy. Attenuator
linearity and distortion can also be checked in this mode.
