have the same amplitude value. If creating a linearity test leave this cell blank since
the amplitude values will change for each test point.
7. Sensor Type: Use the drop down arrow in cell F7 to select the sensor type (ICP®,
Voltage or Modulated Current).
8. Sensor MN: If desired, enter the sensor model number in cell F8. This is optional.
The sensor model number that is entered will print on the calibration certificate. It
can be changed at any time. If the model number is not consistent leave this cell
blank.
9. Lower Bound: In cell D8, enter the minimum sensitivity value for the sensor under
test at each test point that will pass calibration test. For example, the minimum
acceptable sensitivity for 100 mV/g accelerometer with +/- 5% sensitivity tolerance is
95 mV/g, thus lower bound would be: 95.00.
10. Upper Bound: In cell D9, enter the maximum sensitivity value for the sensor under
test at each test point that will pass calibration test. For example, the maximum
acceptable sensitivity for 100 mV/g accelerometer with +/- 5% sensitivity tolerance is
105 mV/g, thus upper bound would be: 105.00.
11. Press Table Auto-Fill. The grey cells in the table will automatically populate with the
values chosen in steps 3-10. All cells will populate. The table is capable of creating a
30-point test. But any number of test points can be programmed. Before creating the
route file user must delete values in cells for test points that should not be created
(see example).
12. Enter the desired Frequency values for each test point in column A beginning with
cell A13. The test will be conducted in the exact order as programmed. The first test
point will be as programmed in row 13; the next will use row 14 values and so on.
a. The 699A07 can only simulate vibration in CPM values that are multiples of
60. I.e. 1800 CPM, 3600 CPM, 4200 CPM, etc. If a value is entered that is
not a multiple of 60, the 699A07 will adjust down to the nearest CPM value
that is a multiple of 60.
b. Example: 1900 CPM is entered as a test point. The 699A07 will adjust to
1860 CPM and 1860 CPM will be displayed.
13. Enter the desired Amplitude values for each test point in column B beginning with
cell B13. Skip this step if all amplitude values have been automatically populated
using the Table Auto-Fill button.
14. Modify any individual test point as desired. For example, most accelerometers have
a wider sensitivity tolerance at extreme low and high frequencies. User may wish to
expand the upper and lower bounds for certain test points.
15. Delete undesired test points. For example, a 10-point test only requires rows 13-22.
The Table Auto-Fill feature saves typing but one must delete data from cells that are
not needed. For a 10-point test rows 23-42 should be blank thus they can be
highlighted and cleared.
16. Press Create Route File. A .pvc file will be created, save this file to the USB drive in
the Calibration_Route folder.
a. When prompted to save, open the USB Disk
b. Open the IMI_PVC folder
c. Open the Calibration_Route folder
d. Press save
