If you want to create a document that includes the report and table, fol low the steps below: a. Set the starting page for the table to “2”. b . Print the table. c. Print the report, setting the page number to “1” and the number of pages to the same value that appears on the table.
be used) the reports and tables are printed to, or which printer dri ver is used. 5. The date that prints on the report and table can now be set by the user . 1.4 Requirements Ta b l e Wa r e requires certain computer hardware and software conf igurations in order to ex ecute properly .
3. When prompted, enter the product serial number . The serial number is provided on a sticker typically located on the CD pouch on the inside back cover of the T able Wa r e User’ s Guide. 4. After all f iles have been installed, a program group is created with icons for the software, the Help file, the README.
The T able Wa r e main display screen (Figure 1) di splays the softw are menu and toolbar . Enabled and disabled All menu items and toolbar icons are enabled. Screen inf ormation The T able Wa r e screen is the main display for the software. The display area re - mains blank until a menu option or toolbar icon is sel ected.
The follo wing icons are a v ailable on the t oolbar: Defaults - Setup default setti ngs Platinum probe coeff icient calculation - Calculate plat inum probe coeff icients Thermistor probe coeff icient.
2 File men u The File menu (Figure 2 ) provides options for s etting program d efaults, select - ing the default printer , an d exiting the software. Enabled and disabled All menu options are enabled. 2.1 Defaults The Defaults menu option displ ays the T able Wa r e Defaults dialog (Figure 3) for selecting or modifying program def ault settings.
Enabled and disabled All tabs are enabled at all times. Dialog information The T able Wa r e Defaults dial og allows t he user to set default v alues or parame - ters by selecting any of the three tabs; General, T ables, or Resolutio ns. The General tab is for selecting T able Wa r e setup defaults or preferences.
The “Sho w help balloons” check box toggl es the display of the help bal loons. The default is selected which means the yel low help balloons are displayed when the mouse pointer is placed over a b utton on the toolbar .
2.1.2 Defaults - T ables The T ables tab (Figur e 5) is displayed when the File|Defaults menu o ption is selected and the tab labeled T ables is selected. Enabled and disabled All controls are enabled at all times. Dialog information The File|Defaul ts T ables tab determines the default s ettings to use when gener - ating tables.
2.1.3 Defaults - Resolutions The Resolutions tab (Figu re 6) is displayed when th e File|Defaults menu option is selected and the tab labeled Resolutions is selected.
2.2 Setup printer The setup printer menu opt ion allo ws the user to select and configure the de - fault print er . For T able Wa r e , the orienta tion should al ways be set t o “Portrait” and the paper size shoul d alw ays be set to “Lette r 8 ½ x 11 in” or “ A4 210 x 297 mm”.
3 Coefficients men u The Coef fici ents Menu (Figure 7) pro vides options for calculati ng coeff icients for Platinum, Thermist or , or Thermocouple probes. Selecting one of the menu options displ ays the Probe Information dialog. Enabled and disabled All options are enabled at all times.
Dialog information The Probe Information dialo g allows the user to enter two captions and v alues to identify the test probe or UUT (Un it U nder T est) for which coeff icients are calculated. The captions def ault to “Model:” and “Serial :” but may be changed as needed.
default is Range 4. The choices for high range are Range 6 through Range 11, or None. The default is Range 8. • If the type selected is Polynomial, the order of the polynomial is required. The order is selectable from 3rd to 9th order. The default for platinum probes is 4th order .
Note : The accepted thermistor model is based upon the lo garithmic resis - tance-temperatur e characteristic in terms of absolute temperatur e (K el - vin). The accuracy of a model based upon °F or °C has not been tested. Ther efor e, T ableW are always calculates polynomial coeff icients for therm - istor pr obes using Kelvin.
Dialog information The type of coef ficient choices are: B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T , and Gold-Platinum. The default is T ype K. The temperature range is dependent on the thermocouple t ype. Thermocouple Requirements are e xplained in Section 3.7.5. The Continue b utton displays the Ra w Data dialog for Thermocouple coeff icients.
Enabled and disabled The Calculate button is not enabled un til the required data is entered and the scales are selected. Dialog information The user must select the Reference S cale and UUT Scale and enter Reference T emperatures and UUT Resistances for t he Triple Point of W ater , Low Range, and High Range, as applicable.
Callendar-V an Dusen (CVD), or IPTS-68 is selected as the type of coef ficients to calculate or from the Thermistor Probe Coeff icients dialog. Enabled and disabled The Calculate button is not enabled un til the required data is entered and the scales are selected.
3.8, Methods Used for Calculating Coe f ficients, contains additional information. The Import button reads raw data in from an ASCII text file. The data must be stored in the te xt file in the format required for calculating Polynomi al, CVD, or IPTS-68 coeff icients.
3.3.3 Thermocouple coefficients This Ra w Data dialog (Fi gure 15) is displayed when t he Continue b utton is se - lected from the Thermocouple Probe Coef fi cients dialog. Enabled and disabled The Calculate button is not enabled un til the required data is entered and the scales are selected.
Note: If CJC r eadings are enter ed in temperatur e, the standard thermo - couple coeff icients for the selected thermocouple type ar e used to calcu - late the voltage at eac h r eading. The calculated voltages ar e then added to each corr esponding UUT r eading before calculating c haracterization co - eff icients for the UUT .
Note: The International Settings must be set according to the information in the Installation section before attempting to import or export r aw data. For ITS-90 coeff icients, the file must follow the format outlined in Figure 16. A comma “, ” should only be used to separate two distinct v alues.
Example: ASCII te xt f ile for ITS-90 (both lo w and high range) coeff icients. 0.010 100.025 –100.00,-38.843 59.2564,83.2587 156.6056,232.0110,419.4314, 660.4325 160.2546, 88.6534,256.1023,356. 1245 Example: ASCII te xt file for ITS-90 (lo w r ange only) coef ficients.
3.4.2 P olynomial, CVD , and IPTS-68 coefficients The raw dat a for calculating Pol ynomial, CVD and IPTS-68 coef ficients can be imported from an ASCII text fil e or export ed to and ASCII f ile by select ing the Import or export b utton on the Ra w Data dialog.
Example: ASCII te xt file for IPTS-68 coef ficients. –100.00,0.000,232.0110, 419.4314 59.2564,100.025,188.6534, 256.1023 Note: If a specific set of temper atur e set-points ar e used r epeatedly , an import/export f ile can be cr eated which contains only the temperatur es.
If the third line does not exist, this software does not compensate th e voltage readings. Example: ASCII te xt fi le for Thermocouple coef fic ients. –100.0,0.0,100.0, 200.0,300.0 –5506.65,0.02,6322.54, 13413.47 –0.02,–0.02,0.01, –0.02,–0.
