"Offset adjust" function
This function is used to “fine tune” a sensor reading whenever a sensor is deployed or reading inaccurately.
For example, a depth sensor may be sitting slightly off the bottom of the stream, or the user has deployed it
above a silt line on the side of a pipe.
1. Click “ Offset adjust
” from the “
Edit channel
” dialogue box and the “
Channel offset adjust
”
dialogue box appears.
The “
Current value
” from the sensor (in this case a depth sensor with frequency output) is displayed
at the top of the window and is updated approximately once per second.
2. To adjust the “ Current value ”, enter your current measured value in the “ Corrected value ” field.
3. Click on the “ Accept ” button to calculate the new “ Offset ” parameter value for the associated channel.
Clicking on the “ Cancel ” button terminates the procedure without altering the offset value.

WARNING: When calibrating a " Depth " channel, measurements should ALWAYS
be carried out from the bottom of the channel/pipe to the top of the water level
