F.6 Strain and Shunt Calibration

In addition to the FieldCal instruction that performs calibrations on

measurements, there is a specialized instruction for performing calibrations on

strain bridge measurements (strain or shunt calibration). This instruction is

called FieldCalStrain. It functions in a similar manner to the FieldCal

instruction, but has additional arguments to meet the specialized needs for

shunt and strain gauge calibrations. It uses the same calibration file (*.cal) as

well as the other utility calibration instructions (SampleFieldCal, NewFieldCal,

LoadFieldCal). For more information about how to use these instructions,

refer to the FieldCalStrain instruction section of your datalogger manual, or

refer to the online help topic for FieldCalStrain within the CRBasic Editor.

The Calibration Wizard also assists users through the process of calibrating

sensors in a program using the FieldCalStrain instruction. For more

information, refer to the online Help topic provided within the Wizard.
