5.6.7 TURNER DESIGNS – CYCLOPS-7 calibration coefficients
The CYCLOPS-7® line of submersible sensors is designed for integration into
multiparameter platforms requiring high performance and compact sensors at
a significantly lower price than traditional submersible sensors. The
CYCLOPS-7® combination of price, performance and size makes the sensors
very attractive for oceanographic, freshwater and dye tracing applications.
After selecting the CYCLOPS fluorimeter from the calibration list, the
following calibration procedure arises:
Do you already know 'SLOPE & OFFSET' coefficients?: No
The operator must answer “YES” and then answer as follows to the coefficients request.
By answering <YES>, the following messages appears in sequence:
Offset = 0.0
Slope = 1.0
The offset and slope are indicated on a dedicated calibration sheet which accompanies the CYCLOPS
sensors and that are prepared by Idronaut.
It is possible to order from Idronaut an advanced interface for the CYCLOPS-7 fluorometers, which
allows the operator to set the CYCLOPS working gain between: x1, x10 and x100.
If available, the following message appears at the end of the calibration procedure:
Analog interface #1: Optical hw scale (1)x1, (2)x10, (3)x100
Hw Scale[1..3] = 1
The operator can select the most appropriate scale. Please set the coefficients for the selected measuring
scale.
5.7 CALIBRATING LOGGING
The OS310 probe implements the GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) protocol, which allows the operator
to keep trace of up to 1024 calibrations. Once invoked, the following menu appears on screen:
Cal Log cmd>> Q)uit,L)ist,S)howOne,sH)owAll,shO)wSensor,C)lear
The commands are:
Quit: returns to the calibration menu.
ShowOne: shows one of the 1024 calibration logs.
ShowAll: shows, in sequence, all the stored calibration logs.
ShowSensor: allows showing the calibration log of the selected sensor.
List: shows the calibration log list.
Clear: initializes the calibration log.
The logged information about sensor calibration depends on the type of sensor.
