8.1.2.9 Self-Calibration
Read More! Related topics can be found in Offset Voltage Compensation (p. 278).
The CR800 self-calibrates to compensate for changes induced by fluctuating
operating temperatures and aging. Without self-calibration, measurement
accuracy over the operational temperature range is worse by about a factor of 10.
That is, over the extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, the accuracy
specification of ±0.12% of reading can degrade to ±1% of reading with self-
calibration disabled. If the temperature of the CR800 remains the same, there is
little calibration drift with self-calibration disabled.
Note Self-calibration requires the CR800 to have an internal voltage standard.
The internal voltage standard should periodically be calibrated by Campbell
Scientific. When high-accuracy voltage measurements are required, a two-year
calibration cycle is recommended.
