Abstract:
1. A method for calibrating a physical data sensing device with a physical data control device, in which the physical data sensing device and the physical data control device are sampled at different intervals, wherein the method is carried out by a program stored on a computer readable device, the method comprising: establishing a first set point for acceptable differences between baseline control data obtained from the physical data control device and comparison data obtained from the physical data sensing device; establishing a second set point for differences between the baseline control data obtained from the physical data control device to accommodate ramping, the baseline control data comprising consecutive data points; establishing a least common sampling interval between the physical data sensing device and the physical data control device; inputting the established first and second set points and the least common sampling interval into the program stored on the computer readable device; retrieving the baseline control data, the baseline control data being obtained from the physical data control device from a data storage device; removing uncommon data from the baseline control data by removing data that does not correspond to data collected at the least common sampling interval; comparing sequential data in the baseline control data to determine if the consecutive data points differ by more than the second established set point; removing the latest data point, and a predetermined number of sequential data points if the difference between sequential data points exceeds the second established set point, thereby providing a baseline control data set; retrieving the comparison data obtained from the physical data sensing device from the data storage device to provide a comparison data set; and comparing the comparison data set with the baseline data set to determine if the maximum difference between the comparison data set and the baseline data set is greater than the first established set point, thereby calibrating the physical data sensing device with the physical data control device.
