Printing Calibration Values - Method 1
You may download the calibration values to a laptop computer (IBM compatible) using a
terminal emulation at 9600 Baud Rate. The calibration data is downloaded in seven pages.
Each page must be printed, as presented on the computer screen, one page at a time. This
method, however, requires that the laptop computer be connected to a printer.
1. Link a serial cable from a laptop computer to KJ15 on the Host Microprocessor. Set the
computer for terminal emulation mode.
NOTICE . . .
Set the computer’s serial port as follows:
Baud ............................. 9600
Data Bits ....................... 8
Parity ............................ NONE
Stop Bits ....................... 1
Flow Control ................. XON / XOFF
2. Set the Host Microprocessor for the calibration mode (S6, 4 = ON). Select Calibration
Range 2 (S6, 8 = OFF), then set the rotary switch (S4) to position 0.
3. On the Host Microprocessor, press the Save switch (S1) to download the first page of the
calibration values to the computer. Repeat for the remaining six pages of the calibration
values.
Printing Calibration Values - Method 2
The following offers an alternative method of downloading the M-IV calibration values. This
method permits the user to save the calibration data to a floppy disk (via WindowsTM terminal
mode), which can then be transferred to a computer station that is connected to a printer.
1. Use a serial cable to link the laptop computer to the Host Microprocessor Board (KJ15).
Enter WindowsTM terminal mode on the computer. Insert a floppy diskette into the
computer’s floppy disk drive.
2. Select “Transfers”, then “Receive” from the menu. Type a filename with the .TXT extension
(i.e., A:\filename.txt, or B:\filename.txt). Select “OK” from the menu.
3. On the Host Microprocessor, set the system for the calibration mode (S6, 4 = ON). Set the
system for calibration range 2 (S6, 8 = OFF). Select position 0 on the Host Rotary Switch
(S4).
4. On the Host Microprocessor, press S1 seven times (once for each page of the calibration
printout). When the transfer is complete, select “Stop” from the menu.
5. Remove the floppy disk from the disk drive. Transfer the floppy disk to a computer station
that is attached to a printer. Enter WindowsTM terminal mode.
6. From the “Settings” menu, set the Printer Echo option to ON.
7. Select “Transfers” from the menu,then click on “View File”. Select the appropriate floppy
disk drive (A:\ or B:\), then select the previously saved file.
8. Click on “OK” from the menu. From the File menu, click on EXIT to start printing the hard
copy record of the M-IV Calibration Values.
