Section 4: Configure Inputs, Part II -
Calibration Coefficients
This section describes the calculation and/or source of the calibration
coefficients for the configuration (.con) file, for each type of sensor supported
by Sea-Bird CTDs. SEASAVE uses the sensor calibration coefficients to
convert the raw data stream into engineering units for display during real-time
data acquisition. This section covers:
• Accessing calibration coefficient dialog boxes
• Calibration coefficients for frequency sensors
• Calibration coefficients for A/D count sensors
• Calibration coefficients for voltage sensors
For all other details on the setup of the .con file, see Section 3:
Configure Inputs, Part I - Instrument .con File.
For setup of the other items in Configure Inputs, see Section 5: Configure
Inputs, Part III – Serial Ports, Water Sampler, TCP/IP Ports, Miscellaneous,
and Pump Control.
Accessing Calibration Coefficients Dialog Boxes
1. Click Configure Inputs.
2. In the dialog box, click the Instrument Configuration tab and click Open.
3. In the Select Instrument Configuration File dialog box, browse to the
desired file and click Open.
4. The configuration information appears on the Instrument Configuration
tab. Click Modify.
5. In the Configuration dialog box, click a sensor and click Modify to
change the calibration coefficients for that sensor (or right click on the
sensor and select Modify . . Calibration, or double click on the sensor);
the calibration coefficients dialog box for the sensor appears.
Note:
Steps 1 through 4 are detailed
in Section 3: Configure Inputs,
Part I - Instrument .con File.
Note:
Setup of all parameters in Configure
Inputs, including the name and
location of the selected .con file, is
included in the SEASAVE program
setup (.psa) file. To save the setup,
you must save the .psa file
(File menu / Save Setup File) before
exiting SEASAVE.
