Calibration with a 1.Generation
FireStingO2
In case you are still working with a first generation
FireStingO2
(Firmware ≥2.3) the dialog window
FireSting Calibration
shows
the Calibration Modes
Factory
,
1-Point
,
2-Point
and
Custom
Mode
:
Three
main modes
of calibration can be chosen:
Factory
calibration
(for a quick, rough calibration): taking the 0%
and the air calibration values from the sensor code; advised only
for rough measurements.
1-Point
: taking the 0% value from the sensor code and the air
calibration value from a manual calibration for precise
measurements around 21% O2.
2-Point
: taking the 0% and the air calibration value from a manual
calibration for precise measurements over the full range (0-21% O2
or 0-100% dissolved O2 (DO)).
During the calibration of a sensor connected to a specific channel,
the
Sample Interval
is automatically set to 0.5 s and the
Data
Smoothing
to 5, ensuring a fast determination of a precise mean
value during the sensor calibration. After finalization of the
calibration, the program returns automatically to the former
settings.
