-Read Channel 0 and use the constants v_adc_offset and v_adc_mul to obtain a calibrated voltage((**Example #1** demonstrates a legacy method to obtain a calibrated voltage, which was the primary method in early Wattmon releases, and has not yet been removed from the OS. The calibration constants are loaded automatically into [[uphp:uphp_special_variables|$_GLOBALS]] from the SD Card [[os:config:battery.ini|/config/battery.ini]]. These constants can be calculated and set using Control Panel > Voltage Calibration (Calibrate Voltage Sensor). However, that Control Panel interface does not produce or set calibration constants for Channels 1 and 2, and as mentioned, it stores the constants on the SD Card. This "old method" has been superseded by "a new method" that stores the calibration constants for A1, A2 and A3 in <tooltip title="Non-Volatile RAM">NVRAM</tooltip>. The new calibration method is accessed in Control Panel > Devices. There it is possible to calibrate any device on the Wattmon or attached by ModBus, and the constants are then stored in <tooltip title="Non-Volatile RAM">NVRAM</tooltip> on the device itself, instead of on the SD Card. See [[#Additional Information]] for how to obtain calibrated values using the new method.)):
