4.6 CALIBRATION MODE EXIT
The Calibration Mode can be exited back to the Normal Mode
via
the Cal/Normal Switch at any time except for when default
calibration data is being loaded. In this case the Calibration
Mode is exited when the loading of default data is complete.
When the Calibration Mode is exited the instrument will
initialize for the Normal Mode based on the current state of the
controls,
as in the power up initialization.
4.7 CALIBRATION DATA STORAGE AND VALIDATION
All calibration data or other data which must be retained when
the instrument is turned off is stored in EEPROM. This data
consists of the following:
Transducer SPL calibration data by transducer and
frequency
Custom RTL values by transducer type
Custom RTL vs.
GSI RTL calibration selection
Attenuator 2.5V maximum output level limit by stimulus
EEPROM checksum
The data is stored using a triple redundancy method (the same as
in the GSI 16 and GSI
33
control Processor). In this method each
data bit is stored
3
times, once in each of
3
different blocks
within the EEPROM with a different format in each of the
3
blocks. When a specific data bit is required the appropriate
location in each of the
3
blocks is read and decoded. For
the
data to be valid the value from 2 of the
3
blocks must match.
This method will allow for the detection of data errors and the
correction of some errors.
If a calibration data read error is detected the frequency which
would use the data will not be available for testing in the
Normal Mode by forcing the stimulus off and not processing
operations of the present bar. The instrument will continue to
function and all other frequencies for which no calibration data
error exists will be available. A data error will be indicated
by displaying the word "CAL"
on the HL display until the
frequency or transducer is changed to a new selection that has no
data error.
In addition to the triple redundancy validation used for
individual pieces of data,
a 2 byte checksum will be stored in
the EEPROM which will allow the validity of all data stored in
the EEPROM to be determined. This check will be performed when
the Calibration Mode is entered.
