Zero Cal —
Some sensors include a zero calibration feature. For these sensors,
pressing Zero Calibration will cause the sensor to be calibrated to compensate
for noise in the transmission line when no RF power is actually present. RF must
be removed before performing calibration. The length of time required for
calibration will vary by sensor being used.
A "Performing Zero Calibration" message will be displayed during the
calibration. A message will be displayed indicating a successful calibration or
calibration failed. If the calibration fails, check the sensor connections and try
again.

Viewing Logged Data
The Log files are saved on the internal memory of the Android device.
Typical Path: SDCARD>Bird RF Meter>Logs.
The data is saved in JSON format in the log file. The data is broken into two
sections and is shown below.
The data may be viewed as text in any text editor, or imported into a
spreadsheet program. See Importing Logs into Excel for steps to import into
