The ‘Interface Tab’ is situated at the top of the software screen and can navigate most program features. Some of the menus will be active only when a logger is interfaced.
General – This allows the user to configure the interface and sleep settings.
Measurement – This allows the user to visualise the thermocouple data on the oscilloscope.
Thermo Couples – This allows users to configure the thermocouple sampling rates and CAN IDs.
Calibration – This allows the user to calibrate the thermocouple inputs.
Reprogramming – This allows the user to re-programme the TC module.
Manufacturer - This allows the user to review the manufacturer's information
Users can configure the CAN ID, Transmission rate and thermocouple type in this window.
Pressing the Load Button Loads the settings in the K-TCxx and displays them on the screen.
CAN ID
Users can use this option to set the CAN ID of the messages containing thermocouple data
Rate
Allows the user to set the CAN message transmission rate.
Type
Allows the user to select the thermocouple type.
Rate List Config
Allows the user to add additional transmission rates.
Pressing the Default Button will reset all the settings.
Pressing DBC Export will open the DBC export window.
Pressing the Import button will load the settings from the DBC file.
This Tab allows the user to visualise the live measurements.
Pressing the Load Button Loads the settings in the K-TCxx and displays them on the screen.
Pressing the Default Button will reset all the settings.
Pressing the Export button will open the DBC export window.
Pressing the Import button will load the settings from the DBC file.
Users can find all the settings related to the CAN Bus interface, Sleep and Software option in this Tab.
Pressing the Load Button Loads the settings in the K-TCxx and displays them on the screen.
CAN Settings
Baud rate: Allows the user to choose CAN Baud Rate for the unit
Byte order: Allows the user to Change Byte order (Intel/Motorola)
Sleep Mode
Deep Sleep: Enables the low power consuming Deep Sleep
No CAN Activity: Enables sleep function if there is no CAN activity
CAN ID: CAN ID used for Sleep Command
After Time: Sleep delay time
Tool Options
Load at Startup: Enabling this automatically loads the previous settings
Load at Export: Enabling this automatically loads the previous settings
Auto assign ID: Enables Automatic assigning of CAN ID to signals to avoid duplicates, used when multiple devices are configured simultaneously.
TC unit: Allows the user to specify the unit to be used, deg C or deg F
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, the calibration will apply the calibration to the K-TCxx, and measurement accuracy will be improved.
Pressing the Load Button Loads the calibration in the K-TCxx and displays them on the screen.
You may use this function if you wish to check that the K-TCxx is calibrated
Nominal Value
Allows the user to select the value being fed to the thermocouple channel.
Raw Temperature
Displays the RAW temperature data.
Noise
Displays the noise level in the signal.
Settings
Allows the user to set the Nominal temperature values.
Noise Level
Allows the user to set the tolerance level.
Clear Calibration
Clears the existing calibration in the device.
Clear Channel
Clears the calibration for the particular channel.
Alternatively, press the start button and attach the appropriate thermocouple test signals to the inputs of the K-TCxx to cycle through the test points to calibrate the K-TCxx for maximum accuracy.
Pressing the Load Button Loads the settings in the K-TCxx and displays them on the screen.
