5. User inputs are calculated with the following formula Calibrated value Scaler x Raw Value Offset Manual calibration allows direct entry of the Scaler and Offset quantities The same formula is used in the 2 point calibration The 2 point calibration procedure automatically calculates the Scaler and the Offset Offset change only It is sometimes desirable to change the required reading slightly without performing a complete calibration This option allows you to do just that It lets you increase or decrease the reading by the required amount Internally the microSpider takes the entered amount and adds it to the Offset described in the previous section Page 42 HALYTECH microSpider User Manual Calibrating Counter Inputs if present You can calibrate Counter Inputs in two ways 1 You can scale them and 2 You can pre set the counter to a particular reading Scaling is useful to make the counters read engineering values For example your water meter may be producing one pulse per 5 litres of water flow Hence to make the counter register in litres you would set the scaler to 5 NOTE A microSpider counts internally from 0 to 999 999 before it wraps around to 0 If a scaler of 5 is used then 199 999 pulses would produce a count of 999 995 If one more pulse is encountered then the counter will wrap around to 0 200 000 5 1 000 000 which wraps around to 0 It is sometimes requi
