Adjustment
A constant value adjustment changes all selected readings to a
constant reading. For example, you can change all level readings
recorded between 12:00 noon and 13:20 to 1.2 feet.
Constant adjustments are also useful when you want to change
No Data Codes to simulated readings. For example, if a partition
contains No Data Codes caused by loss of power, use the constant
adjustments to replace the codes with realistic values.
Steps:
1. Highlight the readings to edit.
2. Select the Constant value adjustment from the Type pulldown
list on the Editor toolbar.
3. Enter the Amount.
4. Click Adjust.
A fixed offset adjustment increases or decreases all selected
readings by the same amount. When you apply a fixed offset
adjustment, the adjustment is added to or subtracted from each
of the selected readings.
Example: Increase level readings by 0.5 feet.
Although fixed adjustments have many applications, they are
most frequently used to correct calibration errors.
Steps
1. Highlight the readings to edit.
2. Select the Fixed Offset adjustment from the Type pulldown
list on the Editor toolbar.
3. Enter the Amount. This value can be positive or negative.
4. Click Adjust.
A proportional reading adjustment distributes an adjustment
proportionately over selected readings. Flowlink determines the
total adjustment applied to each reading by dividing the
adjustment by the number of selected readings. As Flowlink goes
through the list of selected readings, each selected reading
receives a larger proportion of the adjustment.
Example: A proportional level adjustment of 1 foot over three
readings would adjust the first reading by 0.33 feet, the second
by 0.67 feet, and the third by 1.0 feet. A reading of 1 foot
distributed over five readings would adjust the first reading by
0.2 foot, the second by 0.4 foot, the third by 0.6 foot, etc.
Proportional adjustments can be positive or negative to increase
or decrease readings. You can use proportional adjustments to
edit readings generated by a constant adjustment.
Example: After you have adjusted No Data Codes to constant
values with a constant adjustment, enter a proportional
adjustment to smooth the transition between the readings that
preceded and followed the No Data Codes.
