Abstract
A system, method and computer-program product for automatically calibrating a current measuring device. The system and method includes a means for automatically determining viable data segments that can be used for calibration purposes. A quality factor that is associated with each calibration realization is provided. The quality factor is an assessment of the quality of the data in a viable data segment as determined based on user input, statistical information, and the validity of the assumptions used to calculate the calibration coefficient.
Claims21
An automated method for processing and calibrating data collected from a measuring device configured to measure the current of a fluid body, the method comprising the steps of:
- reading a raw current dataset;
- identifying a particular data segment within said raw current dataset that can be used to determine a calibration coefficient;
- calculating a calibration coefficient from said particular data segment;
- and
- creating a calibrated current dataset using said calibration coefficient.
A system for processing and calibrating data collected from a measuring device configured to measure the current of a fluid body, comprising;
- a first build module for collecting data from the measuring device and at least one external device for creating a raw current dataset;
- a calibration opportunity module coupled to said raw current dataset for identifying a data segment that can be used to create a calibration coefficient;
- a calculation module coupled to said calibration opportunity module for calculating the calibration coefficient based on said identified data segment;
- and
- a second build module, coupled to said raw current dataset and said calculation module for creating a calibrated current dataset using said calibration coefficient.
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic stored therein, said computer program logic for enabling a computer to process and calibrate data collected from a measuring device configured to measure the current of a fluid body, wherein said computer program logic comprises:
- reading means for enabling the computer to read a raw current dataset;
- identifying means for enabling the computer to identify a particular data segment within said raw current dataset that can be used to determine a calibration coefficient;
- calculating means for enabling the computer to calculate a calibration coefficient from said particular data segment;
- and
- creating means for enabling the computer to create a calibrated current dataset using said calibration coefficient.
