Step-by-Step Guide: Calibrate a sensor value in Consibio Cloud
Calibration of sensor values is an important task when measuring processes. It ensures reliable data, which is the foundation of correct, well-informed decisions.
In Consibio Cloud, the process of calibration is simple. Follow these simple steps to calibrate a sensor value:
- Locate the sensor value (via. Devices tab or Element)
- Open calibration tool
- Add calibration points / expected values
- Confirm calibration
Step 1: Locate the sensor value
Log in to your Consibio Cloud account and navigate to the sensor value you want to calibrate. This can be accessed in two ways:
a) - Locate via. Elements in Dashboard Tab
- Navigate to the "Dashboard" tab
- Click on the specific Element i.e. sensor value which needs to be calibrated
- Press the Calibrate button
b) - Locate via. Devices Tab
- Navigate to the "Devices" tab
- Click on the device which is connected to the sensor you want to calibrate
- Scroll down to the "Inputs and Outputs" section of the device
- Select the relevant "Channel" which was created
- Locate the specific Element within the channel editor
- Press the Calibrate button
Step 2: Open calibration tool
Click the calibration button to open the calibration tool drawer for the element
Step 3: Add calibration points / expected values
Add calibrations points by entering the expected values and pressing the "Add point" button. You can enter as many calibration points as performed. The adjusted slope and offset of the calibration will automatically update once you click outside the expected value field.
You can easily edit or delete entered values in the fields with the measured output and expected values.
Step 4: Confirm the calibration
Once the desired number of calibration points has been entered, press the confirm x-point linear calibration button. The system will then save the adjustments and update the "Current" slope and offset.
If at any point you want to reset the calibration values, perhaps due to a typing error, you can just press the reset now button.
By following these steps, you can easily calibrate sensor values in Consibio Cloud and enjoy the benefits of accurate measurements, letting you trust in the data provided by your equipment.
