Before an external sensor can be used for the first time, the
KT-9 must be calibrated for the particular external sensor. Each
external sensor is always shipped with a diskette containing a
specific calibration program for it.
The calibration procedure is as follows (for more details, please
see page 54):
1
Connect the supplied cable (Part no. 97945) to the KT-9
computer port located on the bottom panel covering the
battery compartment.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the
COM
1:
serial port
of your computer. Please note that this is a DB-9 connector.
If you have an older computer, you may require a DB-9 to
DB-25 adaptor.
3
Run the supplied
CALIB
program and follow the instructions
on the screen.
4
When the program ends with the message: “
Calibration
successful
,” you are ready to use the external sensor.
