GageCal Program
GageCal is not used for LogBook applications.
Note:
GageCal is best suited for a load cell application
To install the GageCal program on your computer, close all other programs and run SETUP.EXE on Disk
1 (or CD-ROM, as applicable) from Windows 3.1, 3.11, or Windows 95/98/Me. Follow the installation
instructions from the setup program.
Execute GAGECAL.EXE from a Windows environment to start the program. The first screen that appears
will set up the Daq device interface. Input the correct Daq device interface information and click OK. If
the program does not detect the Daq device, please check connections and try again or refer to the
troubleshooting tips in the
Troubleshooting Tips
chapter.
Through GageCal, DBK16 channels can be configured and calibrated as needed. The typical procedure for
using GageCal with a DBK16 is as follows:
1.
Highlight the expansion channel number you want to configure and calibrate. Notice the channel
numbers are listed 16 to 271 with respect to the Daq device (if necessary, see the section entitled,
Channel and Card Address Selection
).
2.
Click on the CONFIGURE button. Setup and verify your hardware setting with the diagram on the
screen. Please note that the coupling must be set to DC and the filter must be disabled to calibrate
the DBK16. After the hardware is setup and verified, click on the ACCEPT button to configure the
next channel or ACCEPT CONFIGURATION AND EXIT to return the main GageCal screen.
3.
Highlight the first configured channel and click on the button labeled CALIBRATE. The
Application Parameters screen appears. There are 2 types of calibration that the DBK16 can
accommodate.
Nameplate calibration
allows you to enter specifications of your transducer and
application;
Two-Point calibration
allows you to enter two points of millivoltage out of the transducer vs
pounds or other physical units. From the parameters you enter, GageCal instructs you how to set up
the DBK16.
Note:
All application parameters entered will be used in the DBK16 setup. Any inaccuracies will result
in the DBK16 being configured incorrectly.
4.
Click on the CONTINUE button, and follow the instructions from the GageCal program. GageCal
has a help file that will explain any questions on the different screens or menus. If you have trouble
in your setup, a DIAGNOSTIC window can show a DBK16 circuit to help you troubleshoot the
problem.
5.
After GageCal completion, go to DaqView and convert
±
5 V to engineering units using mx+b.
