REVISION 1.44.01 - 2 MAY 2018 

UI_0PTC04AAMLX 

Manual voltmeter 

If the 

Keithley 2000 or Agilent 34401A multimeter

 feature is 

not

 selected the program will ask you to put in a few 

values from your voltmeter manually. These are used to calibrate the first sensing line of the PTC-04. This sensing line 
will be used as reference meter for the calibration check. 
 

Note:

 the accuracy of the calibration depends on the precision of the voltmeter and the number of digits you enter. 

 

Figure 10: Manual calibration internal reference meter. 

 

Press 

OK

 to continue. 

 
For the calibration of the internal reference meter, two series of 32 values are required. Once the internal reference 
meter is calibrated the software will continue with the calibration check. 
 

Note:

 the decimal separator of the software is “.” not “,”. If one uses a “,” as decimal separator, the calculated 

parameters will be incorrect.  

 

 

Figure 11: Input Box Manual Voltmeter. 

 

Insert the value from the voltmeter in volt [V] and press 

OK

 

Note:

 If you entered a wrong value, press 

Cancel

. Two error messages are shown.

Figure 13: The calibration check has been cancelled. 

 

Press 

OK 

on both messages to continue. 

Now the calibration check is terminated, you can restart the calibration check.
