CALIBRATION

Calibrating the Temperature

1. Change the voltage on the precision power supply until the display temperature comes within ±3°C of the defined 

temperature range as follows:

• If the display temperature is lower then the defined temperature then decrease the voltage value set on the 

precision power supply until the temperature is correct.

• If the display temperature is lower then the defined temperature then decrease the voltage value set on the 

precision power supply until the temperature is correct.

Note: Please make a note of this voltage value as it will be used later to calibrate the tester.
2. Use the  mini USB cable (ST-CABLE-1) to connect the TMT-ST10 to a computer through the Mini USB Port.
3. Run program commix.exe series port management program found on the installation cd
4. Select the correct settings as follows:

  • Baud Rate = 9600 

 

 

 

• DataBits = 8

  • Parity = None 

 

 

 

• Stop Bits = 1

  • Input = ASC 

 

 

 

• Show = ASC 

 

5. Select the correct COM Port and press “Open Port” to open the serial port.

• If the wrong port is select an error message “Open Port Failure” will appear.
• If the correct port is selected the “Open Port” button will change to “Close Port”.

6. Input the commands as follows and press the “Send” Button. 

Note: XX.XX is the set voltage from step 1

Example:
