Only the first five digits of each 7-digit coefficient are entered in the datalogger. The
maximum error that occurs due to using 5-digit coefficients is 0.001 psi throughout a
15 psi range at any temperature between -30 and +60
°
C. The maximum error in
temperature calculations is 0.2
°
C over the same temperature range.
Coefficients are entered using CR10X Instruction 30 (Z=F) or Instruction 65 (Bulk
Load). A calibration sheet from Paroscientific lists the 14 coefficients. Coefficients
are entered in the same order as they appear on the calibration sheet. Coefficient
U

last. Y

/1000 and D

*1000 are entered for the Y3 and
D1 coefficients, respectively. The example below shows the correct format for
entering the coefficients.

The large number of coefficients which must be entered into the program often
leads to entry error. As a check on coefficient entry, the third value output by
Instruction 64 is the signature of the coefficients. The signature is a calculated
number unique to the value and order of the 14 coefficients. For future
comparisons, note this signature after entering the coefficients correctly.
Signatures will be identical if and only if exactly the same coefficients are
entered.

Instruction 65: Bulk Load
Instruction 65 inputs given values in up to eight Input Storage locations.
The Bulk Load instruction has nine parameters. The first eight are the values to be
entered in Input Storage locations. The ninth is the input location for the first data
value; subsequent data values are placed in sequential input locations.
