MODEL KEI-200 SPC DIGITAL INCLINOMETER
Mount the mechanical fixturing accurately onto the vehicle steering wheel. Tests performed
should be done on the flattest, smoothest road possible and starting and stopping points
should be noted. Drive the vehicle at a slow, constant speed and at the starting point depress
the SAMPLE button. The sample counter will automatically up count. (When the sample
button is pushed at the begining of the first and second pass, a one second delay timer
has been added to give the driver a second to straighten the vehicle.) When the stopping
point is reached, depress the SAMPLE button again and the sample taking will cease. Turn
the vehicle around and drive at the same constant speed as was in the opposite direction.
When the vehicle reaches the previous point that the SAMPLE button was pressed to stop the
sampling, press the SAMPLE button again. The sample counter will automatically down count
and stop when it reaches 00 SAMPLES. If the test was performed without any flaws, and the
values taken you felt were accurate, depress the AVERAGE button. This will display, in front
of AVG, the average value of the sum of samples taken and also display in front of AVGCT
the amount of averages saved for future uploading. When the tests are complete and
averages have been stored into the units memory, the unit can than be turned off and taken to
a computer that has a serial port on the back.
RS-232-C SERIAL UPLOAD PROCEDURE
Plug the interface cable supplied with the inclinometer into the side of the unit. Plug the 25 pin
computer interface connector into the serial port of the computer. Turn the inclinometer back
on and notice that the average counter reads the same amount of samples when the unit was
turned off. The Kemload Utility Program that was supplied with the inclinometer can be run by
typing KEMLOAD <CR>. This will display on the computer CRT the Kemload program.
Depress on the inclinometer the UPLOAD button and the display will read, RS232 SRL
UPLOAD, XX AVRGS STORED. The average values are now ready for upload to the
computer. The Kemload Utility Program on the CRT displays the function keys of an IBM-AT
keyboard at the bottom of the screen. View these function key commands and press the
appropriate keys. To upload the averages in the inclinometer, press the F2 key and the
average values taken during the tests will be displayed on the screen. A file name should be
assigned to that set of data by using the F5 key for editing. By pressing the F3 key the values
displayed on the CRT are then saved in an ASCII text file under the name that you assigned.
