ABSTRACT:
Process and apparatus for calibrating an electrical device such as a circuit breaker, motor controller or monitor is taught. A precision power supply device is interconnected by way of appropriate input channels to the device to be calibrated for supplying a precise accurate calibration variable as an input. A personal computer PC is interlinked by way of a communications network with the apparatus to be calibrated and is also interlinked with the precision supply device so that the personal computer PC has available the exact value of input variable utilized. Gain adjustment calibration is made by supplying the predetermined value of circuit variables, for instance 10 amperes or 120V to the input terminals of the device being calibrated. Upon command, the personal computer PC instructs the device being calibrated to deliver to the personal computer PC those values of input variable which the device being calibrated interprets as the input variable value. The personal computer PC compares this value with the actual value and generates a correction factor which the personal computer PC sends back to the device being calibrated for storage in an EEPROM. Consequently, during subsequent use after the calibration procedure has been completed and the calibration features have been safely "locked" away in the EEPROM, all readings will be adjusted by the aforementioned calibration factor to compensate for errors which may exist in other portions of the device being calibrated.
