Command ‘C’
-
Sub-command Index 02:
Calculate & Apply Correction Coefficients
This sub-command has no additional parameters.
Command
“
C 02
”
‘C’ is the
command
letter.
‘ 02’ is the
sub-command index
(
ii
) for
Calculate & Apply
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a
space
.
Response
“
A
”
‘A’ is the
acknowledge
letter — returned if the required number of
calibration data points had their data successfully collected previously, and
the resulting calculated data is reasonable. Else, an error (‘N’) response is
returned.
Description:
This sub-command finishes the
Multi-Point Calibration
function, previously
started by the
Configure & Start
(‘00’) sub-command. It calculates new
correction coefficients using the pressure data collected by all required
executions
of
the
Collect Data
(‘01’) sub-command.
All the averaged data points collected previously are checked for
reasonableness, and then a new set of
zero
and
gain
correction coefficients are
calculated by the
least-squares
method for each channel (transducer) affected by
the calibration. These are stored in the module’s volatile memory for use by all
subsequent EU data conversion of these channels until the module is
reset
or
powered off
. These coefficients may be stored in the non-volatile memory of the
module’s transducers with the
‘w’
command (see indexes 08 and 09 for that
command). The latest calculated
zero
and
gain
coefficients may be inspected
with
the
‘u’
command at any time for any channel.
Finally, this sub-command restores the original “A/D samples for averaging”
count used by the module’s data acquisition process to the value that was in use
before
the
Multi-Point Calibration
function was originally started.
