CALIBRATING LOGGED DRAWDOWNS BY MANUAL READINGS n DATt-'IANn IS "Calibrate" facility allows one set of data to bE' calibrated by another. the slope (s) and offset (0) through a plot of the set by The calibration parameters are of the best fit straight line which the calibration is done (the "true" set: (T}) against the set to be calibrated ({C}). I.e., the original values of {C} are multiplied by s and have o added to them, where sand 0 are from the best straight line through a {T} .v. {e} plot. Note that where there is no value of {C} at a time for which there lS a value of {T}, a value is automatically interpolated for {C}. This can lead to a a linear interpolation with respect to accurate where the interval between Therefore, some points may have to calibrating sea {T}. meaningless result as time is usually only readings is short. be deleted from the Before tl":,e calibration is completed, the {T} .v. {C} plot, and the s,o and r2 values are shown on screen. At this stage the plot can be inspected and any points which lie significantly off the best straight line can be noted. If there .He only a fe~l points significantly off the best straight line, the calibration can be aborted, and both data sets examined ']Iith a view to deleting those {T} values causing the anomalies. If there are many anomalous points or if the r2 value is lower than, fcr example, 0.980, serious consideration must be given to the vdlidity of the calibration.
