Third-order polynomial 47
5.1.4 Third-order polynomial
When the Polynomial wet calibration method is selected, the meter uses a third-order
polynomial on the dry-calibration velocity Equation 5-4.
Equation 5-4 Wet calibration - third-order polynomial
where
If selecting “Polynomial Coefficients”, the “C” calibration coefficients are applied.
