Fluke TQSOFT-IQ/OQ - Thermal Validation Software with IQ/OQ

Test equipment preparation and sensor calibration

Both TQSoft and TQAero guide you through data logger channel configuration and communications setup with a temperature source, thermometer readout, and reference probe. Fluke 2638A and 1586A models are automatically detected as data loggers for easy setup. Prior to a thermal validation test, an automatic or manual sensor calibration can be performed to determine multiple point offsets for each channel to correct for sensor measurement inaccuracy. When the sensors and reference probe are detected to be stable as defined, the software automatically applies all correction offsets, generates, and saves a full and traceable calibration report.

Thermal validation test setup

TQSoft and TQAero allow you to set up and manage a three-dimensional (3D) wire diagram of the chamber space. Drag and drop sensors to their correct position in the 3D space. The completed diagram can be rotated and magnified. There are options for real time display of measurement values and to represent temperature gradients with color shading at each sensor position. After the test is complete, a real time display can be replayed with a time slider showing temperature behavior in the chamber. Completed diagrams can be easily added to reports.

Sample test specifications

Sample test specifications are included to help you quickly become familiar with the software. The test specification contains selection settings for target temperature, channel configuration, all calibration information, and all temperature parameters. When you select a test specification and start a test, all settings are automatically applied by the software, and a report can be automatically generated at the end of the test. Once you are familiar with the software, you can make modifications and create new test specifications to meet your specific needs.
