When making adjustments, you can enter information about the environment in which you perform the adjustment. This allows compensating for environmental factors that have an effect on the measurement (for example, temperature, pressure, or background gases). The selection of environmental compensations available in the Indigo calibration settings depends on the features and configuration of the connected probe.
The environmental compensation selections are available on the Configuration tab of the Calibration menu. To use environmental compensations, first enable the compensation from the Measurement selections, and then enter the compensation in the Compensation setpoints fields. You can also set the power-up default compensations that remain in use also after probe reset.
Measurement
- Filtering factor
- Defines how much past measurements affect the output (measurement averaging over time). For details, see probe documentation.
- Temperature compensation mode
- Select whether the probe sensor's measurement or a manually entered setpoint is used to set the temperature compensation.
- Pressure/humidity/oxygen compensation ON/OFF
- Enable or disable the environmental compensations.
Compensation Setpoints and Power-Up Defaults
| Environmental compensations can have interdependencies: for example, accurate RH measurement requires that also the temperature and pressure configuration match the measurement environment. For more information on the environmental compensation features of the connected probe, refer to the probe's documentation. |
Note that the environmental compensations you set in the menu and the compensations you set in the Calibration menu are interconnected: the configuration set in either menu is applied to both.
