You can calibrate the K-TC 2.0xx to Improve the accuracy of the measurements. The software allows you to cycle through a number of measurement points. Once done, committing the calibration will apply the calibration to the K-TC 2.0xx, and measurement accuracy will be improved.
Pressing the 'Load' button loads the calibration in the K-TC 2.0xx and displays them on the screen.
You may use this function to check that the K-TC 2.0xx is calibrated.
Alternatively, press the start button and attach the appropriate thermocouple test signals to the inputs of the K-TC 2.0xx to cycle through the test points and calibrate the K-TC 2.0xx for maximum accuracy.
Select the calibration point you wish to calibrate and make these points appropriate to your expected range of inputs.
Select the Channel of the Calibration Point you wish to calibrate by either clicking the Radio Button on the channel.
Or by clicking on the point you wish to calibrate in the field to the right
Adjust the input temperature from the calibrated test equipment that you are using to match the voltage for the test point:
Press the Run button.
If the input temperature is stable and correct, the calibration of the channel will be updated as follows:
If it is not, you will receive a warning:
Repeat the steps above until you have calibrated all the calibration points.
Once you have configured the K-TC 2.0xx as desired, click 'Commit' to send the configuration to the K-TC 2.0xx. If you make a mistake and wish to clear the calibration, use the Clear button.
This will save the calibration to the K-TC 2.0xx and create a report detailing the calibration:
