Software Overview
5.2.4 Step 4: Save or Load Model File
The XTR108EVM-USB software allows the user to save operating conditions and sensor board resistor
values to a model file to facilitate calibration. Click the Save Model File button to open the Save Model
File dialog box, as shown in Figure 23. Enter a descriptive file name that contains the output span and
some basic configuration information, such as 4-20mA, CH1 0-300C in the image below. This naming
allows for easy differentiation between model files when loading a file for calibration. The default save
location for model files is in the Model_files folder within the XTR108EVM-USB install directory (typically at
C:\Program Files\XTR108EVM-USB\).
Figure 23. Save Model File
Similarly, the Load Model File button opens the Load Model File dialog box. This functionality allows the
user to select a previously-saved model file for editing or loading for calibration.
