The auto-calibration corrects periodically even the smallest drift of the capacitive sensor at very low relative humidity. This is neccessary for high accuracy and long term stability of the dew point measurement. The auto-calibration is performed every 30 minutes and takes approx. 3 minutes. During the auto-calibration, the output is frozen at the last measured dewpoint value.
Calibration for a specific oil is a laboratory procedure for determining the saturation curve of the oil. The saturation curved is described by two parameters (A and B). These parameters are used for setting up the moisture in oil sensor for correct calculation of the water content (ppm) out of the measured temperature and water activity (aw).
