7.8.1.5.4 Two-Point Slope and Offset (Option 2)
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.
