myinstrument = Model224()

# Configure a curve by first setting its header parameters. First, set the name and serial number of the curve.
# Then, select the units used to set map the sensor units to temperature units. Set a temperature limit, and
# then specify whether the coefficients are positive or negative.

# Edit individual data points of the curve. In this case, a sensor value of 1.23 is set to equal a Kelvin value of
# 276.0
myinstrument.set_curve_data_point(25, 1, 1.23, 276.0)
