Wahl DSTCAL Software User Manual 

 

 

7   

 

Build Time

: Identifies time firmware was compiled. 

 

Hardware Revision

: Identifies Hardware revision level.  This parameter is hard coded 

into firmware. 
 

Serial number

: Identifies serial number of PCB, programmable on DSTCAL-Pro only. 

 

LCD Refresh

: Sets update period for the LCD.  1 period = 250 mS, thus, LCD Refresh: 

2 = 500 mS or 0.5 second update rate for LCD.  Default value is 8.  LCD Refresh is not 
available for model DST550, which is hard programmed for sample intervals. 
 

Low Battery Check

: Sets update period for checking of low battery.  1 period = 250 

mS, thus Low Battery Check: 1200 = 300,000 mS or 5 minute interval for battery 
checking. 
 
Calibration Information  
 
Module Calibration Data 

– RTD Models 

 

Active Rref

 

– Resistance of nominal 248 ohm reference resistor as calculated by 

measurements during the Ohm Meter Calibration process. 
 

Active Roffset

 

– Offset value for reference resistor as calculated by measurements 

during the Ohm Meter Calibration process. 
 

R0

 

– Resistance at 0.0

C.  R0 value is used for calculating temperature from the 

measured resistance.  For the highest accuracy of measurements, it should be set to 
match the R0 value of the probe being used.  It may be manually entered or may be 
automaticall

y calculated and updated by performing “Probe (system) Calibration”.  Box 

will turn “red” if value is out of acceptable range of 100 

 10 ohms. 

 

Select Calibration to Perform

: The Drop down box allows the user to select one of two 

calibration routines.  To select, simply highlight the desired routine and click the 
“Calibrate” button.  A calibration routine with step by step instructions will take you 
through the calibration process.  See DSX section for DSX current loop calibration 
instructions. 
 

1) 

Ohm Meter Calibration

 

– Performs the calibration of the Electronics to ensure 

it accurately measures resistance.  This routine requires the use of known 
precision resistances.  A precision resistor decade box or precision fixed 
resistors may be used.  Some electronic RTD simulators may also work, but we 
recommend validating their use with the Digistem prior to using them for 
calibration.  R0 will automatically be set to 100.00 ohms for this calibration and 
upon completion, the user will be given the option to return to the initial R0 or 
leave it at 100.00 ohms.
