Title: Data Proof VoltRef Software, Options
Post by: DAVETEE on 11-26-2014 -- 04:17:41
Hello Everyone
Our laboratory is attempting to setup a DC standard using a bank of  4, 732Bs with the Data Proof VoltRef software, scanner and a nano volt meter, in the manner used in many other laboratories, but the software seems quite antiquated,"Software for Windows 3.1, Win 95 & NT or higher- requires 16MB RAM". What other options are available other than Data Proof to establish a DC Voltage standard?

Please share your thoughts.

Its actually a pretty simple program to begin with, you can probably write your own for far less than you can purchase a canned package.

Thank you

Yes, the software is easy to use, and I have controlled the Data Proof scanner with MetCal, and that's also easy. Does anyone know the math for finding out the unknown in reference to the four known cells, or where to find it?

While we're on the topic... I have a Dataproof 160B with the option where the input cables are all hardwired (does not have banana terminals on the back.

I have two questions..

1.  Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the 160B with that option?

2.  Does anyone have a copy of the software they cuold get to me?  I may have it.  This unit was inherited from another lab that closed.  We received some of the old computers from them, and it is possible that the software might be on one of the computers.  But if someone maybe has a web folder where they could put it, that would be really helpful.  I have the 734A also (bank of 4 732B's) and a master 732A that get's hot cal'd by Fluke.
