Setting up the Transducer Interface
Upload the Calibration File
A unique calibration file was loaded into the TI RAM by MTS before the
transducer and transducer interface were shipped. Use the program TIXFER to
retrieve the calibration file. TIXFER is a simple DOS-based program that will
prompt you for information.
1. Connect a communication cable from the laptop computer or PC to the TI.
2. Insert the SWIFT Transducer Interface Utilities diskette into the laptop
computer or PC.
3. Go to the DOS shell and run the program TIXFER.
When you type in the command to run the program, you must specify the
communications port for data transfer. For example, enter TIXFER 1 to
specify COM1.
4. Enter 1 at the prompt to upload the calibration file. (See the illustration
below.)
5. Enter the address for the TI box at the prompt.
The address for the TI is determined by the setting of the address selector
switch on the front panel. If you are using more than one transducer, each TI
will have a different address.
6. Enter a file name.
The file name must use the DOS naming convention (xxxxxxxx.xxx).
7. Enter a description of the file.
You may enter the serial number of the transducer or descriptive words to
help you identify the correct calibration file.
