Hello, 

I wonder if FreeMaster is capable of being used as a calibration tool. For example, calibrate a thermistor with a NXP board. 

Another question on top of this: is it possible to apply a function to a raw signal before it is displayed on a graph in FreeMaster?

Thanks

Hi @Vast-Horizon,

Yes, you can use FreeMASTER as calibration tool. Here's an example of how it could be used in such scenario:

  1. Implement the algorithm in the embedded application
  2. Store algorithm parameters in global volatile variables
  3. Use FreeMASTER to read algorithm parameters at runtime
  4. Use FreeMASTER to update parameter values to fine tune the algorithm

You can also apply transformation functions on the variables before those are displayed. This option is available in the Variable menu (Project -> Variables -> Edit):

Note: transformations are applicable only to REAL values (top right option)

Hope it helps,
Iulian
