Step 4: Save or Load Model File
The XTR108EVM-USB software allows the user to save operating conditions and sensor board resistor
values to a model file to facilitate calibration. Click the
Save Model File
button to open the
Save Model
File
dialog box, as shown in
. Enter a descriptive file name that contains the output span and
some basic configuration information, such as

in the image below. This naming
allows for easy differentiation between model files when loading a file for calibration. The default save
location for model files is in the
Model_files
folder within the XTR108EVM-USB install directory (typically at
C:\Program Files\XTR108EVM-USB\).
