Equation/Options

The sensor's current slope and intercept values are displayed in this dialog. You can manually enter new values for your sensor. If your sensor does not support the editing of its parameters, the fields will be grayed out.

After entering the Slope and Intercept* fields, as well as the appropriate Unit and/or Symbol, click Apply to record the input value(s). The new calibration is added to the list of available calibrations and it is marked as <Not Saved>. This new calibration becomes the current calibration for the sensor..

Calibration storage

If you want to store the calibration, you should save the current experiment to an experiment file. When an experiment file is stored, the current calibration for each sensor is always saved.

The Calibration Storage dialog provides additional storage options.

*Note: Note that a few sensors, such as the Ion-Selective Electrodes, have non-linear calibrations. Their calibration parameters will be called something other than slope and intercept.
