Bump Testing Instruments
The Data Cal 2000 is capable of performing a bump test both manually
and automatically when an instrument is connected to it. When a bump
test is performed, the Data Cal 2000 performs an air adjust operation on
an instrument and then applies calibration gas to the instrument. The
Data Cal 2000 analyzes the response results based on predefined
criteria and determines if the instrument passed the bump test.
NOTE: Starting in November 2011, Data Cal 2000 Docking
Station Software version 04033 started shipping along
with updated versions of the DM-2009. Any units
shipped prior to November 2011 do not have the ability
to reset the bump test date on a GX-2009 after a
successful bump test. If you are using the GX-2009’s
bump test feature and your Data Cal 2000 is not
resetting the bump test date, contact RKI Instruments,
Inc. to send your DM-2009 in for an update and to
request a new Data Cal 2000 product CD.
The criteria that the Data Cal 2000 uses to determine if the instrument
passes a bump test, whether the Bump Test button is active, and whether
or not the Data Cal 2000 automatically performs a bump test if it is due
on a connected unit is defined in the Configuration window on the
Parameter tab. See "Setting Up the Configuration", instruction 9 on
page 30 for a description of the bump test configuration setup.
To perform a manual bump test on an instrument that is connected to the
software:
1. Verify that the appropriate calibration gas cylinder or cylinders is
connected to the appropriate fitting or fittings on the back panel of
the Data Cal 2000. See “Setting Up the Solenoids” on page 36.
2. From the main program window, select the instrument you want to
bump test by clicking on it in the docking module/instrument
window.
To select additional instruments, hold down the Shift key while
clicking each additional instrument. All selected instruments will be
bump tested.
