End-to-End Calibration using Live Measurement Data

Physical end-to-end calibration and adjustment ensures accurate data collection by thoroughly inspecting the measurement system components, allowing for early detection and correction of potential issues.

Calibration procedure

  1. To load the configuration of the connected DAQ system into the project window, click Read or open an existing project that matches the connected hardware configuration.

  2. Next, navigate to the Data Acquisition tab to initiate the acquisition process.

  3. You can either right-click and select Edit variable from either the data acquisition or configuration tab to access the variable settings window.

  4. From there, you can choose or input the desired engineering unit for scaling purposes.

  5. In the scaling section, you'll find a drop-down list for the scaling method, which now includes the option for 2 Point Measurement. 

  6. Assign a value to the signal and then click Set P1. Proceed by applying the next value and clicking Set P2. This process establishes a two-point scaling relationship between the physical and engineering units. All data points will be linearized according to this established line.

  7. Click OK when complete, then go to Configuration > Write to write updates to the DAQ system.
