You can use the K-TCxx Cal application to display the Thermocouple being measured by the K-TCxx visually.

The K-TCxx comes pre-configured, but the configuration is programmable using the K-TCxx Calibration utility. It requires installing a Kvaser Leaf Light, Memorator or an Influx Rebel CT or LT and installing the K-TCxx Calibration utility.

For the above example, please install the Kvaser Drivers.

For the above example, please install the Rebel Drivers.

For the above example, please install the KTC Drivers.

To erase the calibration, follow the following steps:

Click ‘Yes’ to confirm that you want to clear the calibration.

Check that you can see the status messages at the bottom of the K-TCxx Cal Application; if you can’t, click on the light blue line and drag it upwards.

Wait until the status messages at the bottom of the window show that the Calibration table has been cleared:

Once you launch the K-TCxx Configuration utility, you will see the settings for the Interface you are using. If the K-TCxx is on and connected, its serial no and firmware version will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

If the device is not interfaced, choose the interface device and click Baud Rate Scan.

Click on the radio button of the channel you wish to display, and the Actual Measured Value will be displayed.

The top area of the Measurement Tab displays the Measured Values for each K-TCxx channel.

You can calibrate the K-TCxx 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-TCxx, and measurement accuracy will be improved.

Alternatively, press the start button and attach the appropriate thermocouple test signals to the inputs of the K-TCxx in order to cycle through the test points in order to calibrate the K-TCxx for maximum accuracy:

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:

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.

This will save the calibration to the K-TCxx and create a report detailing the calibration:

You can change to the Reprogramming Function by clicking the Tab; you will see the following Window.

Locate the hex file that you wish to program into the K-TCxx. Usually, this will be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Influx Technology\K-TCxx Config\firmware.

Then select the 'Open' option.

Click the Commit button; you will see the following progress indicator at the bottom of the screen:

OR

When the progress indicator reaches the right-hand side, reprogramming is complete.
