Command ‘C’
-
 Sub-command Index 02: Calculate & Apply Correction Coefficients
 
This sub-command has no additional parameters.  
 
Command 
C 02” 
 
‘C’  is the command letter. 
‘ 02’ is the sub-command index (ii) for Calculate & Apply 
 
NOTE: all parameters are separated by a space. 
 
Response 
A” 
 
‘A’ is the acknowledge letter — returned if the required number of 
calibration data points had their data successfully collected previously, and 
the resulting calculated data is reasonable.  Else, an error (‘N’) response is 
returned. 
 
 
Description:  This sub-command finishes the Multi-Point Calibration function, previously  
 
 
  started by the Configure & Start (‘00’) sub-command.  It calculates new  
 
 
  correction coefficients using the pressure data collected by all required  
  
 
executions 
of 
the 
Collect Data (‘01’) sub-command.  
 
  All the averaged data points collected previously are checked for  
  reasonableness, and then a new set of zero and gain correction coefficients are  
  calculated by the least-squares method for each channel (transducer) affected by  
  the calibration.  These are stored in the module’s volatile memory for use by all  
  subsequent EU data conversion of these channels until the module is reset or  
  powered off.  These coefficients may be stored in the non-volatile memory of the  
  module’s transducers with the ‘w’ command (see indexes 08 and 09 for that  
  command). The latest calculated zero and gain coefficients may be inspected  
 with 
the 
‘u’ command at any time for any channel. 
 
 
Finally, this sub-command restores the original “A/D samples for averaging”  
 
count used by the module’s data acquisition process to the value that was in use  
 before 
the 
Multi-Point Calibration function was originally started.
