62 -Case 1: Calibrate Microwave Radar Readling.
63 63  
64 -The microwave radar reading might effect by the OUM(Object Under Measured), but the reading still linear. In this case, we can measure the closest(x1,y1) and the farthest point(x2,y2). Where the x is reading in platform, y is the real value. And use above method to calibrate.

73 +A simple spreadsheet with two columns: X values and Y values.
68 68  
69 -The SE01 probe is calibrated via mineral soil. The reading for other soil will be different by still in linear, In this case, we can measure two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Where the x is reading of Raw EC, y is the real EC for the soil. And use above method to calibrate

82 +* Go to the "Insert" TAB, navigate to the "Chart" menu, and then select the first option in the "Scatter" drop-down list.

91 +* A straight line will appear on the chart.
92 +On the right side of the screen, the Format Trendline menu will appear. Check the boxes next to “Show formulas on chart” and “Show R-squared values on chart”.
93 +The R-squared value is a statistic that tells you how well the line fits the data. The best R-squared value is 1.000, which means that every data point touches the line.
82 82  
95 +Because the ideal data example is used, the R-squared value in this case is 1. As the difference between the data points and the line increases, the R-squared value decreases, with 0.000 being the lowest possible value.
