101 - TRANSDUCER CALIBRATION AND SIGNAL RE-SCALING
AcqKnowledge software, allows you to rescale any signal being acquired. Instead of simply measuring voltage, there is a potential to rescale and rename the signal to more meaningful units. The rescaling function can also be used to calibrate a force transducer or similar device so that the measured data matches the manual reading on the transducer itself. The only requirement is that the data being acquired is an analog signal. Analog channels are the most common type of acquired channel and should be used to acquire any data with continuous values. The range of values for analog channels using the MP100/MP150 is 10 Volts.
There are various applications and uses for calibrating and rescaling different signals. A general knowledge of the three applications listed below will help address and hopefully solve any problems you might run into.
skin temperature measurement using the SKT100B
displacement transducer calibration
accurate signal measurement (reversing the amplified gain setting)
