A Note about Calibration
Calibration is typically performed automatically through LogView software; however, some DBKs may
require manual calibration. LogView’s 2-point calibration fine-tunes the reading’s slope and offset error
(mx+b). DBKs working with non-linear sensors typically condition/convert the reading to a linear form.
Otherwise, a non-linear analog input signal is difficult to read accurately. Careful use of the calculated
channels may yield usable approximations in simple, limited-range conditions.
Reference Notes:
An example of 2-point calibration is provided under the Procedures heading in the
LogView section of the user’s manual PDF.
For information on calibrating the DBK16 and the DBK43A, refer to the
DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual PDF.
