Calibration
General
MC5P is a stand-alone calibrator as well as a calibrator communi-
cating with calibration software.
MC5P supports stand-alone calibration and off-line calibration.
The following list briefly describes these methods:
• In stand-alone calibration, all instrument and calibration result
data is stored in MC5P’s memory. No external calibration da-
tabase is used.
• In off-line calibration (sometimes also called batch calibration),
the instrument data is downloaded from a calibration software.
The calibration is done just as in stand-alone calibration, but
calibration procedures are downloaded from a software and
the saved results are uploaded to the calibration software.
Off-line calibration requires the QCAL option. It also requires the
computer communication cable to connect MC5P to a PC’s serial
port.
Note.
MC5P also includes a serial communication protocol option. With
the option, it is possible to control MC5P via the COMP/PRT port to
perform, e.g. a remotely controlled calibration. The communication
protocol specification can be obtained from Beamex.
