  • When performing calibration checks with the Fluke calibrator, discrepancies could arise between the values entered in Smart Instrumentation and the values downloaded to the Fluke calibrator. These discrepancies are caused by differences in the number of decimal places allowed by Smart Instrumentation and the Fluke calibrator resolution causing the calibrator to round up or down downloaded values.

  • For example, temperatures in the Fluke Documenting Process Calibrator are limited to one tenth of degree Celsius resolution. If the downloaded value has two or more decimal places, the values are rounded by the Fluke calibrator and therefore are different to those in Smart Instrumentation. This causes unexpected deviations from the anticipated point levels that will be reflected in the calibration result points.

For more information on the level of accuracy for the different values measured by your Fluke calibrator, please consult your Fluke documentation or Fluke support.

  1. Connect the Fluke Documenting Process Calibrator to your computer's COM port and switch on as described in the Fluke User Manual.

  2. Open the Calibration module and from the Tag Calibration Settings window, define the source and output value ranges and units of measure for the required tag numbers.

    When performing a calibration for a thermocouple using the Fluke calibrator as an external power supply, you must enter the following data using the custom fields indicated:

    Custom Field

    Acceptable Value

    CALIB_SET_UDF_C16

    Loop power

    24V / 28V

    CALIB_SET_UDF_C17

    Thermocouple type

    E / N / J / K / T / B / R / S / C / L / U

    CALIB_SET_UDF_C18

    Thermocouple source mode

    Linear MV / Linear T

  3. Select Actions > Fluke Interface.

  4. Select Next.

  5. On the Connection Options page, define your connection setting and select Test.

    If the connection test is successful, an appropriate message appears in the Connection result box. If the connection fails, check the physical connections and if necessary, select a different communication port and retry.

  6. Select Next to go to the Activity Selector page.

    If you first want to clear the calibrator, select Flush calibrator memory, ensure that the Upload default memlist and procedures check box is selected, and then select Next. On completion of the process select Back.

  7. Select Download data from Smart Instrumentation to the calibrator.

  8. On the Tag Selection for Download page, select the Export check box beside each tag that you want to download to the calibrator, and then select Next.

  9. On the Download Data page, select Start to begin the download.

    The progress bars indicate the current activity. You will also see an indication on the calibrator that data is uploading to it.

This procedure downloads the following data to the Fluke calibrator:

  • Tag number.

  • Component_ID value — this is a unique value that Smart Instrumentation automatically generates on creation of a tag number. This number is displayed in the Fluke calibrator interface as the tag serial number. Do not modify this number, either from the calibrator or from the Smart Instrumentation database.

  • Source maximum and minimum range values and their units of measure.

  • Output measurement maximum and minimum range values and their units of measure.

  • Calibration strategy.

  • Tolerance.
