During loading, the current calibration data set of the sensor is overwritten. To be on the safe side, a
backup copy of the current calibration data set is therefore automatically stored before s-parameters are
loaded. The names of the backup files have the structure <type>_<batch number>_<date>_<time>.bak,
where <type> is the sensor type, <batch number> is the batch number of the sensor, <date> the date of
the s-parameter update in yyyymmdd format and <time> the time of the s-parameter update in the
format hhmmss. By default, a subdirectory named “Backup” is created for the backup files in the
program directory. With
Select Backup Directory …
it is possible to select a different directory.
Store the automatically created backup files on a separate data medium (e.g. diskette,
CD-ROM or network drive) and, if required, assign a meaningful name to them to simplify
reloading. With the aid of these files, a previously used calibration data set of the sensor
can be restored.
To reload the backup file of a calibration data set into the sensor, proceed as follows:
1. Press
the
Restore...
button. The
Restore S-Parameters
window is opened (Fig. 3-4).
2. Enter the search path and the name of the backup file in the
Backup File
field. Press the
Browse
...
button to open a dialog where the backup file can be easily selected.
3. Press
OK
to start the restore procedure. (With
Cancel
the dialog window is exited without data
being restored).

To be able to determine if the s-parameter correction is active after plugging in or resetting the sensor,
proceed as follows:
1. Connect the sensor to the USB port of the PC and start the program module
Update S-
Parameters
.
2. Make
sure
Keep Current S-Parameter Data
is activated (Fig. 3-5).
3. Activate
S-Parameter Correction on by Default
if the
SENSe:CORRection:SPDevice:STATe
switch should be automatically set to
ON
when the sensor is put into operation, otherwise
deactivate it.
4. Press
Start
for loading.
