16-4 Calibration Model 6485 Instruction Manual
Calibration errors
The Model 6485 checks for errors after each calibration step, minimizing the possibility
that improper calibration may occur due to operator error. If an error is detected during
calibration, the instrument will display an appropriate error message. The unit will then
prompt you to repeat the calibration step that caused the error.
