Public Function PROC_Times2(i1)
REM We want to retain the settings from the input:
o1 = i1
REM and just modify the data portion:
o1.Data = i1.Data * 2.0
REM When finished processing we must set
REM the return value of the function:
PROC_Times2 = o1
End Function
Cal Slope/CalOffset
These values are applied to the input value after the selected processing in order to account for
field calibration of the value. The calibration process in the 8310 supports both single point and
two point calibration. The single point calibration alters CalOffset while two point calibrations
affect both CalSlope and CalOffset.
The default values are 1.0 (CalSlope) and 0.0 (CalOffset) with no affect on the input data.
Since CalSlope and CalOffset are calibration values, they are meaningful only to the specific
sensors attached to the station. Hence, these values do not move from station to station when
cloning setup files (i.e., when loading the setup of one station to another). These values are only
ever used in the station where the calibration took place. When a calibrated input sensor has
been deleted from a setup, the calibration is also deleted.
Mx.Ix
Each measurement input shows up in the menu with its current value (the last measured value).
You can force a measurement of the input by pressing ENTER. Pressing RIGHT initiates a
Calibration.
Mx.Ox
All the outputs for the measurement are displayed in the setup menu. Pressing SET/ENTER will
force a measurement for some types of measurements. The 8310 will not force an average type
measurement – these are only made on the user set schedule. A message is displayed if the
system cannot force the measurement. Pressing RIGHT brings up a sub menu for the settings of
the output. These settings define if the output is displayed, logged, and transmitted. See the
following section on the setup of the outputs.
Station Setup/Measurements/Mx/Mx.Ox
Measurement Outputs have their own properties that define whether the data is displayed,
logged, transmitted, etc. Measurement Outputs can also have additional processing applied.
Here’s an example Measurement Output menu:
