certificate creation, the database is filled with new data. If
the instrument is being recalibrated and the serial number
is given, all the data that was generated by the previous
calibration is automatically completed by the software.

Typical application
Calibrating pressure sensors automatically with
WIKA-Cal and a pressure controller
Pressure sensors can be calibrated automatically with the
WIKA-Cal calibration software and a pressure controller of
the models CPC2000, CPC4000, CPC6050, CPC7000 and
CPC8000.
The current or voltage signal from the test item will be read
from a multimeter such as an Agilent 34401A or Keithley
196A over the GPIB or RS-232 interface and converted to a
pressure value with WIKA-Cal.
The measurement is started after a few clicks and the WIKA-Cal with model CPC4000 pressure controller,
certificate is created with a complete analysis of the pressure sensor with model CPU6000-M CalibratorUnit
measurement uncertainty and a graph.

→ For details on the different pressure controllers can be

found to the corresponding data sheets.

Calibrating electrical pressure measuring instruments

with WIKA-Cal, CPU6000 and pressure balance
Pressure balances offer the highest accuracy as references
for the calibration of pressure measuring instruments. With
WIKA-Cal, not only the test items are read automatically, but
also the masses to be applied for the measuring points are
determined. The program displays, for each measuring point,
which masses have to be applied and thereby corrects the
pressure value, depending on the ambient conditions and the
piston temperature, to achieve the highest accuracy. With the
different products of the CPU6000 series, these conditions
can be measured and read automatically, so that many
entries before and during each calibration are eliminated. Model CPU6000-W, CPU6000-S, CPB5800 and PC with
WIKA-Cal software
→ For details on the CPU6000, see data sheet CT 35.02
→ For details on the different pressure balances can be found
to the corresponding data sheets.

Automatic calibration with digital dead-weight tester

model CPD8500
In combination with a pressure controller for automatic
pressure control, fully automatic calibration is possible with
the model CPD8500 digital dead-weight tester. It is no longer
necessary to apply the masses by hand.

tester, see data sheet CT 32.05

 Switch test with model CPH7000 process calibrator
With the model CPH7000 process calibrator, it is possible to
download the stored switch tests from the instrument and to
document them directly in a protocol through WIKA-Cal.
This specific switch test functionality is currently only
available for the CPH7000.
