The system will exercise the cell based on the number of cycles indicated by the ExerciseCycle parameter
set in the AUTO.CFG parameter secon of the WgoldCfg program. The system will rst apply a load
approximang the percent load indicated by the InialLoad parameter. The output of the standard is
compared against a nominal output based on the set point le sengs. The output of the DUT is compared
against a nominal output based on the values found in the GOLDINT.LMT or GOLDUSR.LMT les. If either
reading is found to be out of tolerance, a FAIL SAFE prompt will be displayed and the calibraon cycle
aborted. Refer to the AUTO.CFG le parameters in the WGoldCfg program.

Calibrate DUT.
The set point box located in the lower le corner should now read 0. When ready for the inial zero to be
taken, select the START buon. The set point number will change to a highlighted color and aer a few
seconds a beep will be heard indicang the reading has been taken. The next desired set point will then be
displayed in the set point box.
Increase the load unl the STANDARD meter is within the limits dened in the ADC.CFG le. (Automated
systems will automacally increase the load as needed) The set point number will change to a highlighted
color. Connue holding steady unl a beep is heard and the next set point is displayed. The nal set point
number is for zero load will equal inial zero reading taken on the standard. All load should be removed
and the system will record the return zero.
The gauge display can be used as a reference. When the set point meter display matches the reference
standard meter display, the gauge indicator will be centered.
Pressing the ESC key at any me during the calibraon will abort the calibraon and return to step to the
beginning of step 10.

Performance Analysis.
The system will now display the performance results. Output, Nonlinearity, Hysteresis and SEB parameters
are compared against limits found in the GOLDINT.LMT or GOLDUSR.LMT les. A High Or Low displayed to
the right of these parameters indicates this parameter exceeds the limits found.
The following buons are displayed in the lower right corner.

Displays results for a mulple bridge transducer.
SHUNT CAL
Select if shunt cal reading(s) are desired.
The program defaults to a value to provide Auto shuntcal output of about 70% of calibrated full scale on
a 350 ohm bridge if possible. If an external resistor is to be used, select Manual and enter its value in the
edit eld.
PRINTER
Generates a hard copy of the performance results.
A menu will be displayed to select the desired report to print. These reports are created using the Report
Designer found on the Tools menu from the main screen.

This will produce a load vs. error plot. Before prinng, it is recommended that the color be changed to
black and white.
