Rapidlab 1200 Operator’s Guide: Calibration 3-3

Troubleshooting Failed Calibrations
If the system detects a problem for a parameter during calibration, the system
repeats the calibration up to 2 times. The maximum number of repeat calibrations
is 2.
The system displays the Additional Cal Required message in the printed report
and in the events log. If the calibrations are not successful, the system turns the
parameter off. You can continue to obtain results for the other parameters.
To perform a manual calibration, refer to Performing Manual Calibrations‚
page 3-4. If the parameter does not pass calibrations successfully, you may need to
perform troubleshooting tasks. Refer to Troubleshooting Failed Calibrations‚
page 6-4.
Generating Calibration Reports
The Rapidlab 1200 system offers 2 calibration report formats: full or status.
• The full report shows the measurement and drift values, and the D code that
explains the result symbols.
If the system cannot report a value during a calibration, the result is blank on
the full reports.
• The status report describes the calibration results as passed or failed and
identifies any failed parameters.
Depending on the system setup, if the system is connected to a Rapidlink or
Rapidcomm data management system or to an LIS, the system automatically
sends the calibration data to these computer systems. For more information about
Automatic Send, refer to
Setting up Auto Send Options‚ page 8-32.
