2. From the Sensor field, select the Quad Pressure Sensor.
(See screenshot below.)
3. Select the Calibrate all similar measurements simulta-
neously option.
4. From the Calibration Type menu, select 1 Point (Adjust
Offset Only).
5. Apply the same pressure to all four ports (for instance by
opening them to the atmosphere).
6. Click the Read From Sensor button for Point 1.
7. Click OK to accept the new calibration.
One-point and Two-point Calibrations
Though it is usually not necessary, a one-point or two-point
calibration can be performed on any of the absolute or relative
measurements to make them more accurate. To do so, you
must have a very accurate independent means of measuring
pressure, such as a barometer. For step-by-step instructions
refer to the documentation for DataStudio version 1.9.5, the
Xplorer, or the Xplorer GLX.
Over-sampling
The Quad Pressure Sensor uses dynamic variable over-sam-
pling to reduce noise, produce smoother data, and improve the
measurement resolution. This effect is especially noticeable
when very small pressure changes or differences are mea-
sured. The degree of dynamic variable over-sampling that
takes place within the Quad Pressure Sensor depends on the
sample rate. To maximize the over-sampling, set the sample
rate as low as possible for a given application. Maximum
over-sampling occurs at sampling rates of 1 Hz or slower.
