FAQ#118 – Is it possible to use the reference reading (zero reading) taken with a digital inclinometer probe as a reference reading for another digital inclinometer probe?
No, this is not possible.Sisgeo calibrates each probe individually, but each probe has its own small different properties, that have a certain influence on the readings. The international standard ISO 18674-3, describing the reference reading, states that:«It is good practice to take an additional reference measurement with an independent probe that can be used as […]
FAQ#075 – What parameters are saved in SISGEO digital sensors? What information must the Customer provide when ordering?
