  • “Slope” and “Offset” are set up as in the screenshot beside

• Once you verify the points above, click on “1-point correction”

• You will enter a specific window to set up the 1-point correction

• The “Set point value” box corresponds to the standard measurement value at which you detect a deviation

• The “Read value” box corresponds at the value you are measuring instead of the expected value which is the standard measurement value

• Set both the values as shown on the screenshot beside.

• Then, click on “Confirm”.

• In this example, you want to measure a standard value at 0°C, and you measure -10°C instead of 0°C

• So you set the “Set point value” at 0°C and the “Read value” at -10°C

• Here, the offset will be set at 10°C.

• Once you click on “Confirm”:

  • The first two boxes are well displayed and greyed
  • “Reset correction” box is ungreyed
  • “Slope” and “Offset” are set as determined in the previous page

• Then, close the pop-up and finish your device configuration. Your device should be configured and the parameterized corrections are well applied to the corresponding channel.

• If you select the 2-point correction instead of the 1-point correction you will be redirected on this page

• The purpose of this page is to perform a linear interpolation of the measurement correction from two measurement points.

• The filling of the fields follows the same principle as explained above for the 1-point correction

  1. In this example, you want to measure a standard value at 0°C, and you measure -5°C instead of 0°C
     So you set the “Set point value” at 0°C and the “Read value” at -5°C.

  2. You want to measure a standard value at 7°C, and you measure 10°C instead of 7°C
     So you set the “Set point value” at 7°C and the “Read value” at 10°C.
     Here, the calculation will set a Slope and an Offset.

• For the example previously explained, there is the Slope and the Offset calculated to apply a correction of the channel.
