Final Calibration with iControl
1. Connect the multimeter to test points TP_LW and GND on the ICE-CTP board inside
the cartop Box. Adjust trimpot LW ADJ until the multimeter reads the same as the
value noted in step 8.

2. To view the voltage values from the load weigher using the iView Virtual Oscilloscope:
• Using iView, connect to the controller
• Display the Virtual Oscilloscope (View > Virtual Oscilloscope)
• Select Load Weigher (Raw) for Test point 1
• Observe the Load Weigher voltage values on the digital display.
3. To verify the linearity of the load weigher, place weights in the car that represent the fol-
lowing and observe the voltage values:
• Empty car - about 0.0 volts
• 25% of overload weight - about 2.5 volts
• 50% of overload weight - about 5.0 volts
• 75% of overload - about 7.5 volts
• Full load weight - about 8 volts
• Overload weight - about 10 volts
4. On the iView Controller > Configuration > Load Weigher tab:
•Set Load weighing device type to Analog signal.
• Set Sensing type to Cross head deflection or rope tension sensing.
