WinTrac™ 5.X

Chapter 9Advanced WinTrac Features6. WinTrac informs you that flash loading has completed successfully.If the flash loading process fails, WinTrac will prompt you to re-try. You should check all power andcommunications connections before re-trying as this may have led to the flash load failure.If Flash load re-try still fails, try powering down your device and powering it up again before retrying. This mayhelp WinTrac to find the device when starting the flash load process.Calibrating SensorsYou can calibrate the Sensors on your DMS or DAS data loggers using WinTrac software. Sensor calibrationon DMS loggers is normally performed using ice-bath calibration, but you can choose either ice-bathcalibration or sensor-grade calibration for your DAS data logger.Ice-bath Calibration1. Place the sensor you wish to calibrate in an ice-bath, until the temperature reads 0°C (32°F).2. Select the Calibrate sensors… option under the Tools menu. The sensor calibration windowappears.3. Select the sensor you wish to calibrate, select ice-bath calibration and click on the Calibrate… button.WinTrac will calibrate the sensor and inform you when calibration is complete. If the Sensor reading istoo far from 0°C (32°F), then WinTrac will inform y ou that the chosen sensor is out of range. This alsoprevents the accidental calibration of a different sensor.79
