Using the “W

ATER

LOG” Software 3-15

Note: It is important to program these values correctly. The data displayed in the last measurement
window will reflect the scaled value. The “

W

ATER

LOG” performs scaling math to the measurement

before it is stored into FLASH EEPROM. Also, the extracted data from the “

W

ATER

LOG” sensor

will reflect the scaled value.

3.2.4 Coefficients Option

The “

W

ATER

LOG” Sensor measures temperature and pressure/level. The units for these

measurements can be scaled to other engineering units using option number 6 as shown in Figure
3-10. This option needs to be invoked for both temperature and pressure/level. You must first
select temperature or pressure/level. The entry is a 1 for temperature and a 2 for pressure/level.
Press the key after selecting the proper entry. This will cause an additional 4 options
to be displayed. These options allow scaling the sensor pressure/level output from the default of
psi to whatever units you choose. The same also applies for the scaling of the sensor temperature
output. The “b0" value is an offset or adder term, and “b1" is a multiplier or scaler. The “x”
represents the value returned from Sensor. By multiplying “x” (the sensor output) by “b1" and
adding “b0", the sensor defaults for pressure/level and temperature. Option 3 lets you label the
output units. For example, “Feet” or “Meters” could be used to label the pressure/level output.
Figure 3-10 shows a Celsius to Fahrenheit temperature conversion with the Units set to “deg F”.
