The question I have about the Diagnostic Pod on the Dataman 448Pro2AP is there a calibration or certification for that Pod?
When you run the Self Test for each site, is this concidered a Calibration or is it just a Verification?
Do you recommend us sending the unit back for Calibration or is the Self Test adequate enough?
Is there a test we can do on the Diagnostic plug to verify that the pod is in good operating condition?

Hello REACTWSCC1,

The description for the diagnostic pod is: for testing the calibration status of 48-pin production programmers and multiprogrammers.

So the programmer can be considerd to be working correctly if the selftest result is OK. If the result is a fail then either the diagnostic pod is faulty or there is a problem with the programmers internal hardware. At this point it would be sensible to return the programmer to Dataman for repair/calibration.

I need to know if the Diagnostic Pod has a certification, calibration or verification test that can be performed on the Pod itself, i.e. resistance test or a capacitance test anything that is evident that the Pod is in good working condition. I am trying to create an inhouse "Certification" procedure to allow us to perform the Dataman "Calibration/Certification" for our records.

We do not provide a testing procedure for the above "pod(s)" functionality verification.

Either the calibration test ends with "OK", then both the programmer and testing pod are OK, or something is wrong and we will test it when it arrives back to us.

For the test of the calibration test pod some external HW is needed which also needs to be tested/calibrated.

We can confirm that a newly purchased selftest pod is going to be 100% OK.
