5. Additional Software
This section describes additional software required to use external frequency pressure sensors
(DRUCK/PAROSFREQ) with SonTek instruments.
5.1. Downloading and Extracting Druck Calibration: LDDRUCK/GTDRUCK
The LDDRUCK.EXE program loads the DRUCK/PAROSFREQ calibration file into the instrument’s
processor. The command syntax is:
LDDRUCK [DruckCalFile] [-COM port] [-Baud Rate] [-Address]
where
6
• DruckCalFile is the name of the calibration file (no extension).
• -COM port is the serial port to which the system is connected (1=COM1; 2= COM2).
• -Baud Rate is the communication baud rate setting of the system. If no value is given, the
program assumes the default setting of 9600 baud. Acceptable baud rate settings are 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
• -Address is the address for a RS-485 system.
Example: LDDRUCK P84567 –p1 –b19200 –a2 will download the file P84567.DRK onto the
system at address 2 connected to COM port 1 at 19200 baud.
The GTDRUCK.EXE program gets (downloads) the DRUCK/PAROSFREQ calibration file from the instrument’s
processor to the user’s PC. The command syntax is:
GTDRUCK [MyCalFile] [-COM port] [-Baud Rate] [-Address]
where
• MyCalFile is the name of the calibration file (no extension).
• -COM port is the serial port to which the system is connected (1=COM1; 2= COM2).
• -Baud Rate is the communication baud rate setting of the system. If no value is given, the
program assumes the default setting of 9600 baud. Acceptable baud rate settings are 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
• -Address is the address for a RS-485 system.
Example: GTDRUCK B199 –p2 –b19200 will retrieve the calibration data from the system
connected to COM port 2 at 19200 baud and store the data into file B199.DRK.
