Task 9 Calibrate additional ranges
Each sensor calibration file can have calibration data for four ranges. If you have
a need for additional ranges, simply create another sensor calibration range.
• Use the calibration values from the previous range as a starting point.
• If you adjust the zero reference, it may affect the other ranges.
Adding a range
If the sensor calibration file must have additional ranges defined, perform the
following:
1. On the Tools menu, select Sensor File Editor.
2. Open the sensor file for the sensor you have just calibrated.
3. Click Add under Range Definition.
4. Select the units for the range, and then enter the absolute value of the range.
5. Save the new range to the calibration file.
6. Calibrate the added range
Note Ranges can also be added on the Sensor tab and calibrated on the
Calibration tab.
