1. Introduction
The Inclinometer Cali-Base page allows you to view, enter, and manage base calibration data for inclinometers. This data is critical for interpreting raw inclinometer readings (typically from dual-axis probes) and converting them into displacement or movement measurements for structural and geotechnical analysis.
NOTE: This CALI – Inclinometer Cali-Base Page is only applicable to inclinometers compatible with the calibration settings provided on this page.
2. Page Navigation
Sign in to GeoSens.
Click on left-hand corner icon 'Setting', click to expand 'INIT | REV | CALI | DATA'→ expand 'CALI' → click Inclinometer Cali-Base.
Instrument Type Filter: select instrument type to narrow down the list.
Cali-Base Data Table: view and manage Cali-Bases details.
Function Bar: edit, export, delete, or copy Cali-Bases.
3. Instrument Type Filter
To use instrument type filter
A dropdown menu used to filter the data table by instrument type (e.g., Inclinometer).
Use Case: If you're only working with a specific type of instrument, this filter helps isolate the relevant records for easier review or editing.
4. Cali-Base Data Table
Each row in the table represents one inclinometer base reading entry, usually associated with a specific channel in the instrument.
4.1 General Field Introduction
Column | Description |
Instrument Name | Unique identifier of the inclinometer being calibrated. |
Revision | Version number of the calibration data (starts at |
Date-Time | Date and time when the calibration record was created or imported. |
Face AA (+) | Positive face reading for AA direction. |
Face AA (-) | Negative face reading for AA direction. |
Face BB (+) | Positive face reading for BB direction. |
Face BB (-) | Negative face reading for BB direction. |
4.2 ABS and Carry Values
Column | Description |
AA ABS Profile (mm) | Absolute profile value for AA direction, calculated from Face AA readings. |
BB ABS Profile (mm) | Absolute profile value for BB direction, calculated from Face BB readings. |
AA Auto-Carry Value (mm) | Automatically generated baseline or continuation value for AA direction. |
BB Auto-Carry Value (mm) | Automatically generated baseline or continuation value for BB direction. |
AA Manual-Carry Value (mm) | Manually entered carry-over value for AA direction. |
BB Manual-Carry Value (mm) | Manually entered carry-over value for BB direction. |
4.3 Reference Columns
Column | Description |
Channel ID | Identifies the specific channel of the inclinometer sensor (e.g., 1 to 8 for an 8-channel probe). |
Sensor ID | Internal reference used by the system to distinguish between different sensors or probes. |
Notes | Optional field for remarks, calibration observations, or special conditions. |
Updated By | Email or username of the person who last modified the entry. |
4.5 Additional Information Column
Additional columns can be dragged and dropped from the column chooser '
' into the data table to customize the view and add more information.
Field Name | Description |
InclinoCali ID | Unique identifier for the inclinometer calibration record. |
AA (+) Bearing | Positive direction bearing for axis AA. |
AA (−) Bearing | Negative direction bearing for axis AA. |
BB (+) Bearing | Positive direction bearing for axis BB. |
BB (−) Bearing | Negative direction bearing for axis BB. |
AA Deviation (mm) | Measured deviation in millimeters for axis AA. |
BB Deviation (mm) | Measured deviation in millimeters for axis BB. |
Channel ID | Identifier for the data channel associated with the sensor. |
Sensor ID | Identifier for the inclinometer sensor. |
Reference Set | Indicates the reference configuration used for calibration. |
Created By | User who created the calibration record. |
Created On | Date and time when the calibration record was created. |
Always match Channel ID values with actual probe channel mapping.
Confirm that Face AA(+) and Face BB(+) readings are in correct orientation.
4.6 Filtering and Sorting
Filtering Function
Click on the filtering icon ‘’, type in the key words to narrow down records, tick on one or multiple items in the list to apply the filter.
Sorting Function
Click on column headers to sort your data.
Toggle between ascending and descending order to enhance data management efficiency.
5. Function Bar (Top Right)
This section provides introduction to each function.
Button | Function |
Edit Grid | Unlocks the grid for inline editing of calibration values (e.g., face values, carry values). |
Export  | Allows export of the currently visible table data into Excel format.
|
New | Adds a new row for creating a new calibration entry. |
Edit | Opens a selected row for editing in a form view. |
Delete | Removes selected calibration entries. |
6. Workflow: How to Use This Page
A. To View or Search Calibration Data
Use the Select a Project Instrument Type filter to focus on a specific instrument group.
Filter out Alarm limits → Click on the filter next to header 'Instrument type' and select the specific instrument type to narrow down the list, or filter by 'instrument name' and 'revision'.
B. To Edit Calibration Records
Click Edit Grid.
Modify values like Face AA/BB, ABS Profiles, or Manual-Carry Values.
Ensure values are numeric and consistent with field data or manufacturer guidelines.
Click on Save to save all the changes.
C. To Add New Records
Click New.
Complete all required fields.
Save the entry.
NOTE: Please be cautious to avoid entering duplicate calibration records for the same instrument and revision.
NOTE: If instruments are recalibrated, duplicate the original row and increase the revision rather than deleting.
7. Troubleshooting
Issue | Solution |
Values cannot be edited | Click Edit Grid, or check if your role has editing rights. |
Missing instrument | Use New to add the missing instrument manually. |
Exported file missing data | Check if filters are applied or reduce pagination limits before export. |
8. Security & Audit Trail
The Updated By column helps track accountability.
Edits and deletions may be restricted to specific user roles for data integrity.
Export logs and revision history can be maintained externally for auditing.
