Calibration Constant

The two values, the reference density (d

o

) and the calibration constant (1/ut), are used by the X96N algorithm to calculate process

density (d).

Calibration Curve

The first curve below shows the relationship for a single-point calibration between the Low Reference, the Calibration constant,
and the X96S output value.

The calibration curve below depicts a two-point calibration and the relationship between the Low Reference, High Calibrate, and
the X96S output value.
