5.3.2 Indicators
Three circles provide serial communications information.
The left circle indicates which serial communications port is selected. The
circle is green when the connection is successfully made.
The TX circle is green during transmission from the computer to the
DMM600. The RX circle is red during transmission from the DMM600 to the
computer.
5.3.3 Command Buttons
Send Calibration Coefficients sends calibration name (maximum of 4
characters) and the user-specified calibration coefficients to the DMM600.
Receive Calibration Coefficients receives and displays calibration name and
calibration coefficients from DMM600.
Read Battery Voltage reads voltage of 9 volt battery in DMM600 and displays
value.
Reset DMM600 calibration removes any user-defined calibration and sets
calibration to factory default.
6. Calibration
6.1 General Discussion
The factory supplied calibration was derived using duff from lodgepole pine,
spruce, Douglas fir and larch forests. The response of the DMM600 is similar
for these types of duff. If the DMM600 is used with significantly different
materials, a material-specific calibration can be derived.
6.2 Equipment Required for a Calibration
• plastic bags to store samples
• a scale to measure sample weight
• containers to hold samples for weighing and while drying in oven
• a drying oven or microwave to dry samples
6.3 Calibration Procedure
6.3.1 General Description of Calibration Procedure
The calibration requires duff samples with a range of water contents. The
collected sample will be measured with the DMM600, removed from the
DMM600 and weighed, then dried and weighed. Water will be added to the
