sensors are calibrated at the factory and require no user adjustment of the
conversion values. There are preset measurement units, as well as a user-defined field. Because
the wireless sensor system is digital, the analog voltage readings from the sensors are converted
into a digital equivalent value based on the volt-to-bit scale of the internal analog-to-digital voltage
converter (A/D converter). Sensor readings can be displayed and recorded in A/D value (bits)
directly or further converted to engineering units by applying conversion values and a conversion
formula. For more information
see Conversion Values on page 39
, and for instruction of adjusting
units
see Measurement Units on page 38
