Calibrating the hardware

Factory calibration

The Measurement Computing Manufacturing Test department performs the initial factory calibration. Return
the device to Measurement Computing Corporation when calibration is required. The recommended calibration
interval is one year.

Field calibration

The TC-32 supports field calibration. Calibrate the device using InstaCal whenever the ambient temperature
changes by more than ±10 °C from the last calibration.
The following items are required to perform field calibration on a TC-32:
a precision voltage source
a voltmeter
Each ADC (two ADCs per device) is measured at three points and a linear correction is calculated.
When prompted, enter the voltmeter reading to a precision of three decimal places.
MCC strongly recommends that you warm up the TC-32 for at least 20 minutes prior to performing field
calibration.

Updating firmware

Your DAQ device contains firmware that can be updated in the field if required. Firmware is available for
download at www.mccdaq.com/firmware.aspx. MCC recommends that you check this page periodically to see
if an update to your device firmware is available.

Restoring factory default network settings

To reset the network configuration settings to the factory default values, complete the following steps:
1.
Use a ballpoint pen to press and hold in the
LEDs blink , indicating that the settings have been restored to the factory defaults.

2.
Release the button so the device continues startup with the default settings. If the button is released before
the two LEDs blink, the settings are not affected and the device starts up normally.
If InstaCal is open when default settings are restored, click the
