Introduction Thank you for purchasing a data logger XP 101K USB (waterproof standard alone pressure data logger. XP 101K is a stand alone pressure data logger storing up to 3.9 million measures on its internal memory, it is implemented as generic USB disks and is designed to operate under any operating system capable to read standard USB flash drives (pen drives).

The blank fields indicate that the logger has been stopped, then restarted and the last memory page has not been completely filled. Negative pressure measurements can also be shown. Geosignal XP 101K USB Data Logger Copyright 2017-2018 all rights reserved www.geosignal.com.au...
SENSOR: 000.00 Sca+0001 set the scale calibration: add input x FS x scale (0001) x 0.0000305, this will increase or decrease the gain on the sensor up to about +30% of FS (000.00 Sca+9830) and Geosignal XP 101K USB Data Logger Copyright 2017-2018 all rights reserved www.geosignal.com.au...

The acquired data should appear more or less like the below chart. The datapoints should follow a straight line the Y intercept is the pressure offset (0.039 Bar in this case). Geosignal XP 101K USB Data Logger Copyright 2017-2018 all rights reserved www.geosignal.com.au...

FS with the Psi FS value (249.99) in this case as 249.99 Psi = 17.236 Bar. There is no need to recalibrate nor change offset and scale values when switching between measurement units (between Psi, Bar).
