Operation Manual

DATA MANAGER - GET DATA ACQUISITION SOFTWARE rev. 01

ENGLISH

• Calibration Type: allows you to choose the type of calibration to use in the channel selected: A list of

types of calibration appears when you click on the button with the left button of the mouse button.

Make the choice based on the type of channel you are working on: e.g. for potentiometer sensors

choose Linear. Refer also to datalogger and/or sensor user manuals to find the proper channel

calibration

• Fields X, Y: Allows the association of the values read by the sensors (in the fields marked with X) to

values set by the user (in the fields marked with Y). This combination of values defines that calibration

of the channel. By clicking on an X field and then clicking the Capture button on the top right corner of

the Calibration dialog box, the current value of the channel (Y field) is associated to the previously

selected X field.

WARNING: The direct acquisition procedure described above must be made with the GET data

acquisition connected to a PC.

If there is no data acquisition device connected to a computer you can enter the values in the X and Y

fields manually using the keyboard.

NOTE: consult the instruction booklet of the sensor being calibrated to know the XY values to

enter in the appropriate fields

• The Show in volts option, if enabled, shows the voltage of the channel expressed in volts.

3.2.10.5 Applying an offset

You can use the offset the button to specify a value to be added or subtracted to the value read from the

selected channel. Use positive values to subtract the offset from the channel and negative values to add

offset, confirm the data entered with the OK button.

3.2.10.6 Mathematical channels

A mathematical channel is a channel which is obtained by applying the appropriate mathematical functions

to one or more of the previously acquired channels. It is possible, for example, to create the “acceleration”

mathematical channel, using the speed derivative.
