1 Introduction
1 Introduction
What is TableWare?
1.1 What is Table
TableWa re is designed to calculate characterization coefficients for platinum,
thermistor, and thermocouple probes. The types of coefficients that can be cal
culated are: ITS-90 for platinum probes; IPTS-68 for platinum probes;
Callendar-Van Dusen for platinum probes; Polynomial for platinum and therm
istor probes; and coefficients for thermocouple probes types B, E, J, K, N, R, S,
T, a nd AuPt.
The raw data used to calculate coefficients may be entered into the software di
rectly or imported into the software from an ASCII text file. TableWare creates
a report that can be either printed to a printer or exported to an ASCII text file.
TableWare also generates Temperature vs. Resistance, Temperature vs. Ratio,
and Temperature vs. EMF tables based on ITS-90, IPTS-68, Callendar-Van
Dusen, Polynomial or Thermocouple coefficients.

1.3 Features
A list of new features and enhancements in version 2 of the TableWare follows:
Version 2.4
1. The logos and graphics displayed in TableWare have been updated.
?
-
-
-
Version 2.3
1. Prior to this version, the Shared Files Conflict dialog always appeared
when running the software in Windows NT with the file
COMMDLG.DLL listed. Even though the software works fine despite
this file conflict, this dialog no longer appears.
2. When generating Temperature vs. Ratio tables, the Inverse Difference
column was incorrectly labeled “dT/dr”. The label has been changed to
correctly read “dT/dW”.
3. When generating Temperature vs. Resistance tables or Temperature vs.
Ratio tables in °F, the values in the First Derivative (dr/dT) column and
Inverse Difference column (dT/dW) displayed the values as if the table
was in °C.
4. The Extrapolating message incorrectly appeared when generating a table
when; a) the Table Scale was set to °F or K and, b) the Minimum Temp.

and/or Maximum Temp. setting fell outside the recommended tempera
-
ture range in °C.
5. In version 2.2, an Overflow error sometimes occurred when attempting
to generate tables from thermistor polynomial coefficients that Ta
-
bleWare calculated. This problem has been fixed.
6. A new range setting has been added for Type R and Type S Thermocou
ple probes. This range is named “-50.0°C to 1768.1°C (using extrapola
tion)”. Selecting this range allows TableWa re to automatically determine
which reference function to use when calculating coefficients and table
values based on the temperature value. Selecting one of the other avail
able ranges forces TableWare to use only the reference function for that
range.
7. Temperature vs. EMF (mV) tables can now be generated as well as Tem
perature vs. EMF (μV) for thermocouple probes.
8. Residuals for thermocouple probes are now displayed/printed in the scale
that the UUT readings were entered in instead of always being dis-
played/printed in Vμ.
9. An Export button has been added to the Raw Data dialog, which allows
raw data to be saved to an ASCII text file in comma, delimited format.
Version 2.2:
1. A warning message will appear when calculating thermocouple coefficients if one of the selected set-points is within ±5° of 0°C. The algorithm used to calculate thermocouple coefficients forces the EMF at 0°C
to 0.0µV. Therefore, using a set-point at or near 0°C when calculating
thermocouple coefficients may cause erroneous results. For best results,
use at least two set-points that are not near 0°C.
2. The model and serial number labels used on the report and table are now
editable. These labels can be changed to display whatever information
your process requires. Simply enter the appropriate text in the Caption
and Value boxes on the Probe Information dialog. This information will
print on the report and table exactly as it is entered.
3. The report and table now support page numbering in the “Page x of y”
format. For reports, Page Numbering dialog appears when the Print Re
port button is selected asking for the page number of the report and the
total number of pages. The report itself always fits on one letter-size
page. For tables, the starting page number is selected from the Table Op
tions dialog. The number of pages depends on the temperature range as
well as the font size and is determined automatically by the software.
Adding this feature to the software made it necessary to create the table
twice: first to determine the number of pages, then to print the page num
bers on each page. For this reason, it now takes twice as long to generate
a table.

1 Introduction
Features
If you want to create a document that includes the report and table, follow the
steps below:
a. Set the starting page for the table to “2”.
b. Print the table.
c. Print the report, setting the page number to “1” and the number of
pages to the same value that appears on the table.
d. If other pages need to included in the document, they may be in
serted either before or after the report. Adjust the starting page num
ber for the table and/or report accordingly.
4. The table can now be printed in increments of 0.01°. Prior to version 2.2,
the minimum allowable increment was 0.1°.
Note: Generating tables over a large range using a small increment may
take a few minutes, especially on 386 and some 486 PCs.
5. In conjunction with item 4 above, the default resolution for temperature
values on tables is now two decimal places.
Version 2.1.0.1
1. Version 2.1 build 2.1.0.1 fixed a bug with the calculation of coefficients
and table values for ITS-90 Range 6.
2. The resolutions that can be used now include up to 9 decimal places.
Prior to this version, the maximum number of decimal places was 7.
-
Version 2.1:
1. Version 2.1 of TableWa re has added the capability to calculate Polyno
mial coefficients for Platinum probes using a scale other than the scale of
the Reference readings. TableWare will automatically convert the Refer
ence readings to the selected scale.
Version 2.0:
1. A Print Preview window has been added so that reports and tables can be
viewed on-screen before printing.
2. TableWare now allows tables to be exported to an ASCII text file. This
makes it possible to import the table into a spreadsheet or other
application.
3. TableWare now has the capability of generating a table from coefficients
entered by the user. No raw data is required.
4. The default printer may now be selected from the File menu. This option
allows the user to determine which printer (if more than one printer can
