1 Introduction This document presents an overview of the calibration process and functionality testing performed on the MicroTymp2 handle by the calibration system. The primary purpose of the calibration system is to calibrate MicroTymp2 handles after they have been as- sembled.
It is possible that calibration equipment failures or misalignments will cause errors in the calibration. In most cases these errors will have the term ‘Equipment error’ in the error message. In some cases it will be difficult to differentiate between a handle failure and equipment failure;...
3 Operational Procedure Initialization and basic functionality checks of the calibration equipment are performed when the calibration system is first booted. These checks insure that the calibration equipment is working properly. In addition, part of the operational procedure should be a step to calibrate the equipment each day, or as often as is necessary.
Page 34
Handle Self Test This step insures that the handle microcontrollers are operating properly and all memory is functional, including ROM, RAM, and PROM. A “self test” command will be sent to the handle, which causes the RAM and ROM for both microcontrollers to be tested and the results returned.
Page 35
Pressure Convergence Test Pressure is set to 0 daPa. The offset pot is checked for a target value of 150, if the value is in spec., the pressure is set to +200daPa, and the gain pot is checked for a target value 21.
Page 36
Calibrate Speaker This calibration step calibrates the handle speaker. The operator will be prompted to place a standard 3.0cc cavity on the handle tip. The handle will be instructed to gener- ate an 85 dB signal by setting the admittance gain pot to the predetermined value for 3.0cc cavity.
LCD element out. Bad LCD, bad flex, address line open LCD stuck neighbors. Bad LCD, bad flex, address line short LCD pixels are faded. Bad LCD, bad flex Button Test This will test the operability of the three buttons on the handle. The operator will be prompted to press each of the three buttons in turn.

• Align MicGain Pot Calibrates the microphone gain pot as part of the compliance sub- system alignment of the handle. • Compliance Subsystem Calibrates the compliance subsystem components (speaker and admittance gain pots) of the handle. • Motor Sweep Rate Calibrates the motor subsystem components of the handle. •...

• Speaker Off Sends a ‘speaker off’ command to the handle. • Read Microphone Sends a ‘read microphone’ command to the handle and displays the result. Calvin Tools Menu • Set Pressure The system requests the user place the pressure tube on the handle and then requests a pressure value.
Calibration Signature At PROM address 2E (hex) and 2F (hex), a 16 bit word describes the state of the handle. When the 16 bit word states “FACE”, the unit considers itself to be calibrated. When the unit does not say “FACE”, and it should say “DEAD”, the unit considers itself under calibration.

SECTION 7 Troubleshooting Guide for MicroTymp2 Handles: 11 MicroTymp2 Noise Test Procedure 13 Introduction In trouble shooting NEEDS CAL messages on the MicroTymp 2 there are two registers in the EEPROM that are of interest - $AC (Historical Slave Error Register) and $AD (Historical Master Error Register).
Page 44
2. How to Determine the Error Each error register can be assigned any one of the 256 possible hex numbers listed above. Each number represents a specific combination of errors. By converting the HEX number in the error register to its binary equivalent and using the error code tables below, you will be able to determine what errors caused the unit to display the NEEDS CAL message.
Page 45
3. Historical Slave Error Register This register indicates any error that occurred in the Slave microcontroller during operation. The Slave is responsible for the pressure sub-system of the MicroTymp 2. This include the operation of the pump & motor, valve, and pressure transducer. It receives commands from the Master microcontroller to perform the task such as pressure up, pressure down, open/close valve, read pressure transducer, etc.
Page 46
this bus, they do use it to communicate with the EEPROM. All data stored in and retrievedfrom EEPROM passes through this bus. The voltage levels on the two bus lines indicate different things to the microcontrollers. In addition, if both the Master and the Slave try to use the bus at the same time, an error could occur.
Page 47
Historical Master Error Register N/A - $80 / 1XXXXXXX THIS ERROR SHOULD NOT OCCUR. IF IT DOES REPLACE THE MASTER OR MCU PCB. N/A - $40 / X1XXXXXX THIS ERROR SHOULD NOT OCCUR. IF IT DOES REPLACE THE MASTER OR MCU PCB. N/A - $20 / XX1XXXXX THIS ERROR SHOULD NOT OCCUR.
Page 48
Slave Error - $02 / XXXXXX1X 4.7.1 Description: This error occurs only when the Slave has an error of its own that has been written to the Historical Slave Error Register. 4.7.2 Suggestions: Verify that the Slave is working properly - Investigate the error indicated in the Historical Slave Error Register.
Page 49
NEEDS CAL With Both Error Registers = $00 There are three error cases in which NEEDS CAL is displayed on the LCD screen but no error is indicated in either the Historical Master Error Register or the Historical Slave Error Register. They are as follows: Unit Not Calibrated - $00 / 00000000 5.1.1 Description: This error occurs when the proper calibration signature $fa $ce is not written in...
