Section 7. Installation
5. To simulate seven-day-service calibration conditions (30 mg/l standard
solution), the variable KnownSalinity remains at 30.0. Change the value in
variable CalMode to 1 to start the calibration. When CalMode increments to 6,
the seven-day-service offset calibration is complete. Calibrated offset will
equal -37.23 mg/l.
CRBasic Example 41. FieldCal() Offset
'This program example demonstrates the use of FieldCal() in calculating and applying an
'offset calibration. An offset calibration compares the signal magnitude of a sensor to a
'known standard and calculates an offset to adjust the sensor output to the known value.
'The offset is then used to adjust subsequent measurements.
'This program demonstrates the offset calibration with the following procedure:
' -- Simulate a signal from a salinity sensor.
' -- Measure the 'sensor' signal.
' -- Calculate and apply an offset.
'
'You can set up the simulation by loading this program into the CR1000 and interconnecting the
'following terminals with a jumper wire to simulate the salinity sensor signal as follows:
' Vx1 --- SE1
'For the simulation, the value of the calibration standard and the initial 'sensor' signal
'are set automatically. Start the calibration routine by setting variable CalMode = 1. When
'CalMode = 6 (will occur automatically after 10 measurements), the routine is complete.
'Note the new value in variable SalinityOffset. Now enter the following millivolt value as
'the simulated sensor signal and note how the new offset is added to the measurement:
' SimulatedSalinitySignal = 1345
'NOTE: This program places a .cal file on the CPU: drive of the CR1000. The .cal file must
'be erased to reset the demonstration.
