8.3 Automatic Calibration/Adjustment with isoCAL
Fully automatic calibration/adjustment ensures that the balance is automatically
calibrated and adjusted when predefined time intervals or temperature values are
exceeded.
This function varies in different models:
– Secura
®
/ Quintix
®
: isoCAL is automatically carried out based on time or
temperature, and each time the balance is leveled. This function can be switched
off via the system settings (see page 31).
In Secura
®
models, every adjustment process, including the identified deviations,
is documented and saved on the balance. The saved reports can be viewed via the
system settings and printed out on a PC or Sartorius lab printer (see page 31).
