This is how to create a printable strapping table or calibration chart from a SensorLink File. It’s useful for testing or offset calibrating the TD100 transmitter in the field. There’s no need for the laptop to be nearby.
On the computer you will use to create the printable table, you’ll need SensorLink and Microsoft Word installed. Of course, you need the STB strapping table file for conversion.
Do not press any keys or click the mouse between each step.
