Appendix F. Calibration and Zeroing
F.6 Strain and Shunt Calibration
In addition to the FieldCal instruction that performs calibrations on
measurements, there is a specialized instruction for performing calibrations on
strain bridge measurements (strain or shunt calibration). This instruction is
called FieldCalStrain. It functions in a similar manner to the FieldCal
instruction, but has additional arguments to meet the specialized needs for
shunt and strain gauge calibrations. It uses the same calibration file (*.cal) as
well as the other utility calibration instructions (SampleFieldCal, NewFieldCal,
LoadFieldCal). For more information about how to use these instructions,
refer to the FieldCalStrain instruction section of your datalogger manual, or
refer to the online help topic for FieldCalStrain within the CRBasic Editor.
The Calibration Wizard also assists users through the process of calibrating
sensors in a program using the FieldCalStrain instruction. For more
information, refer to the online Help topic provided within the Wizard.
