4.5 Multi-Point Calibration
Multi-point calibration consists of at least 2 to max. 10 calibration
points. The points are connected by a straight line. This type of cal-
ibration can be performed for every continuous level measurement.
For multi-point calibration various levels have to be controlled.
Figure 4-2 Multi-Point Calibration
Multi-point calibration is carried out in four steps:
• Select type of linearization
• Measure background
• Record calibration points
• Check calibration
The necessary steps will be explained in detail on the following
pages and in the proper order. For more information on the individ-
ual functions please refer to chapter 6.4.
Select Linear as type of linearization for the calibration (see
page 7–677).
