7.1.2 Wireless/One Sensor/Resistance Converted to Temperature
'This is an example of a program used by a CR1000 and AVW206 to one Geokon 4450 VW
'displacement sensor. The sensor provides a frequency, which is converted to displacement, and
'resistance, which is converted to temperature. Polynomial Gage Factors used in this example were
'taken from the calibration sheets of the 4450 sensor. The coefficients used to convert resistance to
'temperature are from the Steinhart-Hart equation.
'The CR1000 communicates with the remote AVW206 through an RF401 radio attached to the
'logger's CS/IO port in SDC7 mode.
'The Pakbus address of the AVW206 used in this example is 15.
