FieldCal() Slope and Offset (Opt 2) Example
Most CRBasic measurement instructions have a multiplier and offset parameter.
FieldCal() Option 2 adjusts the multiplier and offset arguments such that the
output of the sensor being calibrated is set to a value consistent with the linear
relationship that intersects two known points sequentially entered in the
FieldCal() KnownVar parameter. Subsequent measurements are scaled with the
same multiplier and offset.
Example Case: A meter measures the volume of water flowing through a pipe.
Multiplier and offset are known to drift, so a two-point calibration is required
periodically at known flow rates. The following procedure adjusts multiplier and
offset to correct for meter drift as shown in the calibration report below. Note that
the flow meter outputs millivolts inversely proportional to flow.

1. Send CRBasic example FieldCal() Two-Point Slope and Offset
(p. 239)
to the
CR3000.
2. To place the simulated flow sensor in a simulated calibration condition (in the
field a real sensor would be placed in a condition of know flow), place a
jumper wire between terminals VX1 and SE1.
3. Perform the simulated deployment calibration as follows:
