Calibrate Sensors
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:21 pm
Hi
I have a question about sensor calibaration on Barometric Pressure.
My current station height is 96m
My BTHR918N - reading is 1006mb
Without any sensor calibration Meteoplug is calculating the pressure as 1017.3mb
When I goto Sensors page I see that : 1006mb (1017.3mb) fc:1
The real local Sea Pressure is 1011mb , now will I do the Sensor Calibration ? According to what I understand , I must goto sensor calibration page and calibrate the FACTOR (a) reading by 0.9940 to reach the desired 1011mb isn't it ? I left the offset (b) blank...
Once I do this I still get the 1017.3mb, where am I doing wrong ?
Thanks
