MPS4264

Section 3: Operation

1) The bar graph will never update faster than 1 Hz.  If 

the MPS is set to scan at a higher rate than this, the 

data collected between the display refreshes are 

ignored and discarded.

2) When the “Scan to Display” function is used, the 

“FPS” variable is ignored.  The MPS will continue to 

scan and the bar graph will display data until the STOP 

button is clicked no matter what the FPS variable is set 

to.

3) The bar-graph automatically scales based on the 

highest pressure value that is being displayed.

The size and scale of the “marks” in the bar graph can be 

set by clicking “Set Bar Graph Mark.”  This only effects how 

the bar is displayed in the bar graph and has no effect on 

the data or scaling of the graph.

Web Server: Calibrations & Validations

THIS FEATURE WILL BE RELEASED IN A FUTURE SOFT

-

WARE UPDATE.

 Calibrations and validations of the MPS 

can be controlled through the web server as well.  The web 

server’s calibration-validation interface makes setting up a 

calibration and/or a validation much simpler than manually 

setting up each of the individual parameters for the opera-

tion.  It is accessed by clicking on the “Cal-Val” link in the 

blue navigation bar.

Figure 3-12: Web Server Cal-Val Screen

The Cal-Val screen is broken up into three primary sections: 

Temperatures, Pressures and Communications.  The 

“Temperatures” section includes several variables, each 

duplicated to allow independent configurations for Calibra-

tions and Validations:

TEMPERATURE POINTS: This is used to set the number 

of temperatures used during the calibration or valida-

tion.  If the “temperature points” is set to 0, the MPS 

will do a calibration/validation only at the module’s 

current temperature and will not control the oven.

MINIMUM TEMPERATURE POINT: This is used to set the 

lowest temperature point in the calibration/validation

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE POINT: This is used to set the 

maximum temperature point in the calibration/valida-

tion.

The MPS will use the minimum temperature and maximum 

temperature and divide the spread evenly using the 

number of temperature points to determine the tempera-

tures that the calibration/validation will be performed at.

The “Pressures” section includes several variables, each 

duplicated to allow independent configurations for Calibra-

tions and Validations:

PRESSURE POINTS: This is used to set the number of 

pressures that will be applied during the calibration or 

validation.

MINIMUM PRESSURE POINT: This is used to set the 

lowest pressure applied during the calibration/valida-

tion.

MAXIMUM PRESSURE POINT: This is used to set the 

maximum pressure applied during the calibration/vali-

dation.

The MPS will use the minimum pressure and maximum 

pressure and divide the spread evenly using the number of 

pressure points to determine the pressures that are applied 

to the module during the calibration/validation.

The “Communications” section includes parameters for 

establishing a connection between the MPS, the pressure 

calibrator and the oven (if applicable):

IP (OVEN): Sets the IP address of the oven controller.

PORT (OVEN): Sets the port number of the oven 

controller.

DWELL (MINUTES) (OVEN): Sets the dwell time, in 

minutes to allow the oven to stabilize at a temperature 

after setting the temperature.

IP (CALIBRATOR): Sets the IP address of the pressure 

calibrator.

PORT (CALIBRATOR): Sets the port number of the pres-

sure calibrator.

NUMBER (CALIBRATOR): Sets the channel number of the 

calibrator being used.

DWELL (SECONDS) (CALIBRATOR): Sets the dwell time, 

in seconds to allow the calibrator to stabilize at a 

pressure.  If this is set to 0, the MPS will query the 

calibrator to determine stability and advance as soon 

as the calibrator is stable.

Across the top of the screen is a bar with several links/

options.  These features allow you to start and stop a cali-

bration, as well as interface with the module to retrieve the 

latest validation report, download a copy of the calibration
