7.8.1.5.4 Two-Point Slope and Offset (Option 2)

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.

to the CR3000.

2. To simulate the flow sensor, place a jumper wire between channels VX1 and

SE6 (3L).

3. Simulate deployment-calibration conditions (output @ 30 l/s = 300 mV, output

@ 10 l/s = 550 mV) in two stages.

a. Set variable SignalmV to 300. Set variable KnownFlow to 30.0.

b. Start the deployment calibration by setting variable CalMode = 1.

c.

When

CalMode increments to 3, set variable SignalmV to 550. Set

variable KnownFlow to 10.

d. Resume the deployment calibration by setting variable CalMode = 4
