The document provides instructions for programming WIM cards using three software applications - LCIC-WIM-Calibration, LCIC-WIM PARM, and LCIC-WIM SETTINGS. It describes installing the applications and driver, connecting the necessary hardware including a precision calibrator and power supply, and running the calibration and parameter configuration processes using the software to program the WIM cards.

1. Procedure for Programming WIM Cards
Equipment:
USB A to USB B Cable
Precision Calibrator
WIM card Power supply
Prior to calibration and WIM Parameter configuration three applications are needed for this procedure. Note
that the driver and applications only work in Windows 7.
1.) LCIC-WIM-Calibration v 3.06
2.) LCIC-WIM PARM-v1.04
3.) LCIC-WIM SETTINGS V2.37
The procedures for installing the applications can be found in the Transcore server: PTC/LPU/WIM-
LCIC/Latest Software and Firmware/Software.
In the above location there are three folders:
SETUP LCIC-WIM Calibration
SETUP LCIC-WIM PARM
SETUP LCIC-SETTINGS
In addition the driver for the WIM card needs to be installed in the PC. Located in the PTC/LPU WIM-LCIC/Latest
Software/Driver. Install this file CDM v2.12.00 WHQL Certified.exe.
After applications and driver are installed Calibration can begin.
Connect the Precision Calibrator and to the WIM card’s DB 9 connector labeled Load Cell,
as shown in figure 1.
Connect the USB B to the WIM Card’s USB B connector as shown in figure 2.
Connect the power supply to the WIM card as shown in Figure 3.
The WIM card LED display will light and display a random value, shown in figure 3.

2. USB A to USB B Cable
Precision Calibrator and L-Comm Board
Connect the Precision Calibrator and to the WIM card’s DB 9 connector labeled Load Cell,

3. WIM Card Power Supply
Hardware Connections

Let the drivers install first and then select the proper port as shown in the image above and click start.
Calibration Procedure
Prior to running LCIC-Calibration once power is applied Windows will load
the driver for the WIM Card. The following screen will be seen. Once the
driver has been loaded the programming can begin.

5. Click on ICON shown below
The following screenwill appear, click on OK.
LCIC –Calibration ICON

6. The following screenwill appear, highlight the USB port. This must be done quickly
or application will terminate, and the procedure will need to be restarted.
The following screenwill appear, Click next see screenbelow

7. Click the down arrow box and change g (grams) to lb (pounds) and change
the 16 to 20,000in Full Load and Maximum Applied parameters.
As shown below
Click next

8. Set the PrecisionCalibratorvalue using the right hand knob to 0. Then click on
ZERO Next is grayedout. After Zero has been set, Next will not be grayed out and
the next procedure can begin.
Click Next

9. The following screenwill appear
Enter the value 20000 andclick on ready

10. The screenwill shown that Ready is Greenand Next is not grayed out.
Click on Next
The following screenwill be shown Click on Save to Board

11. The following screenwill be shown. Click on Yes.
The following screenwill appear, programming the calibration parameters in progress.

12. When completed the following screenwill appear. The calibration settings have been
savedto the board. Click Yes to exit
Procedures for Uploaded predefined Settings parameters to the WIM Card
Click on PARM ICON

13. The following 2 screens will be shown

14. At this point an explanation is needed regarding the file shown in the Library box on the
left hand side of the screen. A pre-existing file was createdby manually entering the
parameters using the Settings program.
Since this manual process has the potential for introducing errors, a WIM card was
programmed with the required parameters, verified and uploaded to the pre-defined
directory. Since no parameters need to be changedthe same file is used to program the
WIM card. The only reasonthe Settings program is used as a QA process to verify that
the parameters have been programmed.
After Highlighting the file the following screenwill appear. Click on Yes

15. The following screenwill appear
Click on Downloadparameters(File ->Board)The screenshownbelow will appear

16. The dialog box is indicating that the file selectedwill override the existing file on the
board. Click on Yes. Th screenbelow will appear the process has begun.
When completed the screenbelow will appear. Click on OK

17. The following screenwill appear. Click on the x at the top right.
The screenshownbelow will appear Click on Yes to exit

18. Click on the Settings ICON as shownon the screenimage below.
The program will begin to load
Click on SETTINGS ICON

19. After the program is running the following screenwill appear.
The parameters shownare specific to the requirements for Transcore’s LPU system.
Once parameters have been verified the program canbe closedand the WIM
disconnectedfrom all devices.
From this point you can repeatall the above procedures to program additional WIM
cards.
