4.2.4 Sensor Settings Page Four, Temperature Settings

The fourth page of the Sensor Setting window (Figure 77) contains parameters that allow
a temperature correction factor to be applied to collected data. A detailed description of
all the parameters on this page appears below:
Figure 77 - Temperature Settings (Nautiz X8 Shown)
4.2.4.1 Temperature Correction Feature:
(Note: Temperature Correction feature does not apply to all sensors and will be disabled
(grayed out) when the following sensor models are selected: "4200", "4202", "4204",
"421X", "44xx", and "49XX".)
Sensor Correction: The choices for this parameter are "Enabled" or "Disabled". Select
"Enable" to enable correction of any errors in the sensor reading due to temperature.
Initial Temperature: Initial temperature reading taken when performing a "Zero
Reading" of the sensor.
Thermal Factor: Factor to multiply temperature difference by using the following
formula: Corrected Reading = Sensor Reading - ((Current Temperature - Initial
Temperature) * Temperature Factor).
