FieldCal() Slope and Offset (Opt 2) Example
Most CRBasic measurement instructions have a
multiplier
and
offset
parameter.
FieldCal()
Option 2
adjusts the
multiplier
and
offset
arguments such that the
output of the sensor being calibrated is set to a value consistent with the linear
relationship that intersects two known points sequentially entered in the
FieldCal()
KnownVar
parameter.
Subsequent measurements are scaled with the
same multiplier and offset.
Case: A meter measures the volume of water flowing through a pipe. Multiplier
and offset are known to drift, so a two-point calibration is required periodically at
known flow rates. The following procedure adjusts multiplier and offset to correct
for meter drift as shown in the calibration report below. Note that the flow meter
outputs millivolts inversely proportional to flow.
