T-MIKE PROGRAMMABLE
1.
Configuration and Calibration
The T-Mike Programmable is preset to display in inches or millimeters; the back light enabled or disabled;
and the sound velocity fixed. This can be done at the factory prior to shipping or this may be done by
connecting the T-Mike programmable to an IBM compatible computer running special software, or from a
T-Mike E. When using a T-Mike E, a special cable is required.
2.
To Program From a T-Mike E
Set the T-Mike E in the desired mode by holding down the CAL key while turning on the power. Now
calibrate the sound velocity of the T-Mike E to the desired sound velocity. Turn off both gauges. Connect
the special cable between the two data/charger ports. Turn on the T-Mike E; press the Cal key twice and
the LCD will indicate the velocity. Now turn on the T-Mike Programmable. The T-Mike Programmable
should display CAL, followed by the new velocity and then will go into the measurement mode. Be sure
this new velocity matches with the sound velocity in the T-Mike E.
3.
To Program from an IBM Compatible PC
Remove rubber plug from the serial port of the T-Mike and insert the LEMO connector of the T-Mike serial
cable (Part Number 022-506-783). Connect the serial cable to COM1 or COM2 of the PC. Run SETMIKE
from Start/Programs/Stresstel or from the appropriate installation directory. Select Measurement Unit:
Inches or Millimeters. Enter sound velocity in inches/uS or M/S. Press
Enter
to accept the new velocity.
Check Backlight to illuminate T-Mike reading. Select Serial Port: COM1 or COM2.
Use the Tab key to cycle through the
SETMIKE Windows application controls
.
Press
SEND
to initiate update of the T-Mike. Turn on the T-Mike. If the T-Mike was already on, turn it off
and turn on gain.
The T-Mike P/B may require several attempts to synchronize
with SETMIKE. Repeat Off/ON cycles until the correct velocity
appears in the display.
