1. Overview Calibration

The alarming of the sensor is deactivated for the calibration. This is indicated by the status "Disabled by calibration" in the sensor status (see >> elproMONITOR / Monitor) is displayed. The calibration interval is 10 seconds and cannot be adjusted. The duration of the calibration is displayed in the sensor analysis (>> elproMONITOR / Monitor) is marked with a reddish background color in the graphic. The documentation of the calibration is done by creating a report or by a data export.

1.1. User Interface

The Calibration overview is opened by clicking on the "Calibration" menu item or by starting a calibration in the Monitor overview for one or more sensors.

A - Sensor Analysis

Left-clicking on a specific line opens the sensor analysis for that line. >> 1.2 Calibration Analysis

I - Filter

The criteria listed in this column are used to filter the listed calibrations. The following criteria can be selected:

  • Filter

    • Active - Only active calibrations that have not yet been completed are listed.

    • All calibrations - All recorded calibrations are listed.

  • Date filter

    • The period of the listed calibrations is limited to the specifications of start and to stop time.

  • Search

    • Search for a single calibration by specifying the number of the calibration.

II - Detail Column

This area contains all information about the sensors in the selected groups. The following information is available for each sensor:

  • No. - Unique numbering of the calibration.

  • Start date - start of calibration.

  • Stop date - end of calibration.

  • Sensor - name of the sensor >> elproMONITOR / Settings / Device settings

  • I/O module - name of the I/O module >> elproMONITOR / Settings / Device settings

  • Duration - time between the start and stop of calibration>> elproMONITOR / Settings / Profiles

III - Applicable Functions

Depending on the selected overview, different functionalities can be executed here.

Calibration

Completing the calibration is only possible for the selected sensors of ECOLOG-PRO I/O modules.

The calibration is completed and the end of the calibration and is entered as the stop date in the calibration log.

1.2 Calibration Analysis

elproMONITOR has several functions for analyzing and exporting the recorded measured values during calibration.

1.3.1 Select Period for Calibration Analysis

Calibration Analysis Period

Specification of the time range of the recorded data displayed in the chart. By limiting the time range, the displayed range is zoomed. The time range can be specified in different ways:

  • Quicklinks

  • Time range From ... To: and "Display" button

  • Previous" and "Next" button

  • Zoom in the graphic

 

Calibration Analysis Period - Quicklinks

The preset quicklinks allow quick selection of typically required time ranges:

  • Last 7 days - The measured values of the last seven days including the current day are displayed.

  • Previous week - The readings of the previous week from Monday to Sunday are displayed.

  • previous calendar month - the readings of the previous calendar month from the first to the last day are displayed.

  • last year - The measured values of the last full year from the first to the last day are displayed.

 

 

 

Period Calibration Analysis - Zoom

By marking a subrange of the graph, this time range is displayed.

 

 

1.3.2 Applicable Functions

Calibration Data

With the button "Calibration data" the relevant data for calibration are generated in *.JSON format. these data can be used by ELPRO technicians to create calibration certificates.

Export

Export" exports the data for the selected period of sensor analysis in tabular form as an MS-EXCEL file.

Report

The calibration analysis report includes an overview graph on the first page followed by measured value graphs for the selected sensor in the selected time period.

Calibration Report - Overview Graphic

Close

Closes the current window and returns to the Calibration overview.

1.3.3 Calibration analysis details

All Calibrations

In the left area of the calibration analysis, all sensors that have been calibrated can be selected. By selecting individual sensors in combination with a time period, the corresponding measured values can be loaded.

Units of measurement will be displayed on the Y-axis. On the X-axis of the graph, the date and time of the measured values are indicated, which can be measured even more precisely with the cursor.

Measuring with the cursor

By moving the mouse pointer over the displayed curve, it can be measured and the following data is given for each data point:

  • Sensor name (e.g. Warehouse Temperature 1)

  • Date (e.g. 08.Mar.2022 04:30)

  • value (e.g. 29.2 °C)

Details

Below the graphic, detailed information and statistical data for the calibrated sensor are available as a list and can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the sensor name. This information always corresponds to the selected time period.

Statistical data:

  • Average

  • Lowest/highest value - The minimum or maximum value measured in the corresponding time interval is determined.

  • MKT - Mean Kinetic Temperature, for information on the theory of MKT calculation, see relevant technical literature.
