Calibration Menu Reference
3.3.4 Select Calibration Sub-Menu
If the Select option is chosen as documented in paragraph 3.3.3, then the
operator is presented with the following menu selections. The
ESC
key can
be used at any point to exit the sub-menu.
3.3.4.1 Select active calibration
The select active calibration menu allows the operator to select one
of up to four previously performed calibrations as the “active”
calibration. The active calibration is used for all measurements for
the given sensor input. The asterisk
* in the display indicates that
a calibration has previously been performed and is available for
selection as active. Use the
OPTION
key to move the cursor.
Selections are valid immediately and will affect level measurements
for the channel assigned to the sensor input. Use the
MENU
key to
continue.
3.3.4.2 Approximate calibration factor
The approximate calibration selection menu provides options for
transforming a calibration in liquid nitrogen to any of four common
liquefied gases under saturated conditions at 1 atm. The
approximate calibration factor is a ratiometric value that relates
the dielectric of the liquid used to perform the actual calibration to
another liquid (or the same liquid under different conditions) for
level monitoring/control. The actual values used for the
approximate factors are listed in Table 3-1 below.
