comprehensive treatment of field-calibration topics. The most comprehensive
resource to date covering use of
FieldCal()
and
FieldCalStrain()
is
RTDAQ
software documentation available at

. Be aware of the following precautions:
•
The CR1000 does not check for out-of-bounds values in mode variables.
•
Valid mode variable entries are
1
or
4
.
Before, during, and after calibration, one of the following codes will be stored in
the
CalMode
variable:

7.9.12.4.1 One-Point Calibrations (Zero or Offset)
Zero operation applies an offset of equal magnitude but opposite sign. For
example, when performing a zeroing operation on a measurement of 15.3, the
value –15.3 will be added to subsequent measurements.
Offset operation applies an offset of equal magnitude and same sign. For
example, when performing an offset operation on a measurement of 15.3, the
value 15.3 will be added to subsequent measurements.
See
FieldCal() Zero or Tare (Opt 0) Example
(p. 214)
and
FieldCal() Offset (Opt 1)
Example
(p. 216)
for demonstration programs:
1. Use a separate
FieldCal()
instruction and variables for each sensor to be
calibrated. In the CRBasic program , put the
FieldCal()
instruction
immediately below the associated measurement instruction.
2. Set mode variable = 0 or 6 before starting.
3. Place the sensor into zeroing or offset condition.
4. Set
KnownVar
variable to the offset or zero value.
5. Set mode variable =
1
to start calibration.
