You will find in this manual a copy of the
"Certificate of Calibration". It is recommended that
you have this instrument recertified at least once
per year. Associated Research, Inc. recommends
you use "Calibration Standards" that are NIST
traceable or traceable to agencies recognized by
NIST to keep this instrument within published
specifications. Unless necessary, do not
recalibrate the instrument within the first 12
months.
End user metrology standards or practices may
vary. These metrology standards determine the
measurement uncertainty ratio of the calibration standards being used. Calibration
adjustments can only be made in the Calibration mode and calibration checks or
verifications can only be made while operating in Test mode.
NOTE: Verification should be performed before and after calibration.
Calibration effects will only be noticeable after exiting calibration mode.
