Example 15: deri_bprpres and deri_bprtemp, BPR channels

Loggers with BPR channels interface a Paroscientific, Inc. transducer. The logger measure precisely the output frequencies from the transducer. Those transducers generally outputs two signals, one for pressure and one for temperature.

There are two channels for the periods measured (peri00 and peri01). But in order to convert them in a meaningful pressure and temperature, the logger provides two channels which implement the calibration equation from Paroscientific, Inc. They rely on two type of equations: deri_bprpres (pressure in dbar) and deri_bprtemp (temperature in °C).

  • n0 is the index of the pressure period channel, in this example 1

  • value(n0) is the final output value of the pressure period channel in picoseconds.

  • n1 is the index of the temperature period channel, in this example 2

  • value(n1) is the final output value of the temperature period channel in picoseconds.
