The torque analyzer will display the final torque threshold and the total angle displacement, which has occurred from the initial torque threshold and final torque threshold.

  • Page 27: Transducer Clibration

    A 2-point calibration should work well in all but exceptional circumstances. Once the calibration is complete the calibration data will be stored in a Mountz "Smart" transducer using the ARCII proto- col. For non-smart transducers calibration data will be stored in the PTT internal memory. A sophisticated error correction algorithm assures that the data written to and retrieved from memory is always correct.
  • Page 28 Note for Force & Load Sensors When performing a Load Cell Calibration, if choosing a 2 point calibration, load at 10% and 100%. If performing a 3 point calibration and load at load at 10%, 50% and 100%. The calibration program will guide you through the calibration by text in the information box. By selection in the Calibration Type you can select Compression Only, Tension Only or Both if the Load cell supports this.

  • Page 29: Ptt Calibration

    This procedure is used to calibration the gain of the PTT to a high degree of accuracy. This allows all PTT to exhibit the same accuracy with a Mountz "Smart" transducer as the meter that was used to perform the calibration. The PTT Calibration requires special equipment. This equipment is available from Mountz for those that require it as an optional item.
  • Page 30 The data is collected is available in: The results will be saved in the PC in C:\Program Files\Mountz\ Torque Meter Interface Program \Tool Test Results\Operator Folder where the "Operator Folder" will be the name of the Operator entered in the upper portion of the Tool Test Screen.
  • Page 31 The Real-Time button on the Data Logging screen allows a user to connect the PTT to a PC and get readings sent to the PC, in Real-Time, which can be printed to a printer or saved as an Excel Spread Sheet. The screen reading is sent from the PTT when Auto clear takes place or when Enter is pressed if the meter is in Manual Clear mode.
  • Page 32 You will see there is a button on the right side of the screen, above the graph area, labeled "Real-time...", see the Figure below. Clicking this button will open another Window used to collect the Real-Time data. See the Figure below for a screen shot of this Window.

This is the current application so there is no need to update but if the operator chooses he/she can reload it to see how this feature works.

  • Page 35: Accessory - Bar Code Reader

    PTT allows a Bar Code reader to be connected to the PTT. Mountz PTT units with serial numbers that start with digits "07" and later feature a new firmware and hardware. Only models with serial numbers 07-01-001 or later can operate with the Bar Code Reader of Multiplexer. Prior PTT versions cannot support the Bar Code Reader and Multiplexer.
  • Page 36 Once the Tool Test or Tool Tests are loaded into the analyzer, the Tool Test can be selected by scanning the bar code rather than selecting the test using the menu on the Analyzer. Press the Tool Test "Soft" key (the middle key below the display) once and then press Enter.

    Note: Starting April 2007, PTT models can be used with this Multiplexer. Mountz PTT units with serial numbers that start with digits "07" and later feature a new firmware and hardware. Only models with serial numbers 07-01-001 or later can operate with the Bar Code Reader of Multiplexer. Prior PTT versions cannot support the Bar Code Reader and Multiplexer.
