Calibrating Sensors

For calibrating the sensors with the AWS Client software, use the
Calibration window shown in

Figure 36 on page 70

. The window

shows a list of measurements available for calibration.

CAUTION

Improper changes to sensor calibration may cause the system to
malfunction. Changing the values requires a profound knowledge of
calibrating sensors.

CAUTION

When you upgrade a previous QML logger software version to 3.06 or
above, the following sensors will not operate correctly in the Sensor
Calibration
tab until they are removed from the setup and then re-
created: CM6B, CM11, QMS101, QMS102, and QMN101.

NOTE

There are two ways to calibrate a sensor with AWS Client: either via
the graphical or the command line interface. While the command line
option is available for all sensors, the graphical user interface is limited
to the following sensors: wind sensor WMS302, solar radiation
sensors CM6B/CM11 (older models), CMP6/CMP11 (current models
with enhanced sensitivity), QMS101, QMS102, QMN101, and LI200.

NOTE

You must load an appropriate setup to the QML logger before you are
able to use the Calibration window.

NOTE

The Calibration window has no content for setups made with QML
logger software versions prior to 3.06. With old setups, sensors need
to be calibrated through the terminal connection with the appropriate
calibration commands.
