12.4 Measurement Calibration data files (.mcd)

Measurement calibration data files always have a default "mcd" extension
unless the user specifies a different extension on purpose. These files can be
used to track changes in measurement calibration data over time. Each time
a measurement calibration is performed, the user will be given the option to
save the present measurement calibration constants in a new mcd file.
Measurement calibration 'mcd' files consist of one to four records in a
comma separated value format using the following format :
Position
record 1, field 1 string
record 1, field 2 string
record 1, field 3 decimal
record 1, field 4 string
record 1, field 5 string
record 2, field 1 decimal
record 2, field2 decimal
record 2, field3 decimal
:Following records are only present if L-series model is two or three phase system:
record 3, field 1 decimal
record 3, field2 decimal
record 3, field3 decimal
record 4, field 1 decimal
record 4, field2 decimal
record 4, field3 decimal
Notes: All calibration coefficient values range from 0 to 255. Calibration
coefficients with a value of 256 indicate a failure to bring the measurement
within calibration. If one or more calibration coefficients with a value of 256
occur, check your calibration procedure. Make sure the external
measurement equipment is connected properly and set to the correct range.
It is also possible that one or more measurement values have been entered
wrong.
