Hi again,


--- Quote ---Yeah as long as you can get the files on a floppy you should be fine, you probably want to edit them with the values of your test fixtures.

Good to know, just for reference, below are the values from my two cal docs – 

P071_03.CAL

201.1E-12
1701.1E-12
0.004E-6
0.018E-6
0.04E-6
0.18E-6
0.4E-6
1.764E-6
3.848E-6
19.610E-6
38.37E-6
172.04E-6
383.0E-6
1715.25E-6

P072_1.cal

8.1288
1.9915
1.49601
0.19871
149.22E-3
19.944E-3
14.951E-3
1.9971E-3
1.4937E-3
198.05E-6
10.31E-6
2.35E-6
78.98E-6
37.15E-6

There are 7 cal ranges.  The values listed above are grouped in two's; the first one is the high cal point and the second is the low cal point.

Actually . . . I wonder if those two documents are what was intended for the floppy disk. Looking at the instructions again, you'll see point #5 says to double click on "LC103 Final Cal" icon. I have a folder here with the following items:

LC103 Cal Data.ini
LC103 configData.nce
LC103 Final Cal.aliases
LC103 Final Cal.ini

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that THIS directory is what should go on the floppy disk, right?

Here are the contents of each of the files:

--- Quote ---No the final test box is just the current source/leakage test box, you'll still need it to do those calibrations, you can do all the others and write the cal stamp w/o it. What you have should work fine as long as you know it's accurate. Sencore had some pretty strict standards and we had all out equipment certified by a lab.

Okay, so without the "final test box" is the source/leakage box and didn't have anything to do with calibrating the capacitance and inductance? Sorry if I'm being dense – but there were so many "boxes" referenced in the calibration procedure! (final test box, ringer test box, large inductance box, ringer cal box)


--- Quote ---Yeah there was a schematic for it,  I remember looking at it but it was only a paper one.  Chances are it's toast by now.

I'll dig.  8)


--- Quote ---There are two people I would talk to, if they are still there Tory Hoteling, I believe he's still in customer support but he use to be the service manager when they still had the service department,  the other would be Ralph Belding, he is/was the Quality Assurance manager and might know where the equipment is.  I would just call the general number and ask for them,  I haven't talked to either of these guys in years but hopefully they'll help you out, but no guarantees.

Great, thank you again for all the help!

Hello,

Just a quick update — I spoke to a rep at Sencore and they confirmed that the cap and inductance boxes weren’t exclusive to Sencore. They’re trying to dig up exactly what was used — and additional info on the final cal box.

In the meantime, does anyone have LabView version 3.1 or 5.1 available?

Thanks

Hi,is this https://www.freesoftwarefiles.com/development/labview-nxg-3-1-free-download/ what you are looking for?
Very large file. 3Gb.

Hi to all,
After a few hesitations , I finally decided to buy a LC103 in very good condition.
It has the V1.46 firmware
Here's the dump:

If you still have something you wanted brought up to a more recent version, feel free to post it here and I can attempt it.
