Performing Manual Calibrations
Use this procedure to manually start a 1-point, a 2-point, or a full calibration. Only
operators with the required security access can start a calibration. For more information
about levels of security access, refer to
Setting up Operator Security Levels‚ page 8-35.
NOTE: When you access the Calibration screen, some calibration types may not be
available because an automatic calibration is scheduled to begin shortly. For example, a
1-point calibration is not available if a full 2-point calibration is scheduled to start within
10 minutes.
1. Select
Status > Calibrate.
2. Select the calibration type.
3. Select
Start.
The system displays a message indicating that the system is busy. The message box
displays the time remaining until the calibration finishes and a Cancel button so you
can interrupt the calibration to analyze a priority sample.
• If a parameter fails the calibration, the calibration repeats.
• If a parameter continues to fail calibration, refer to Troubleshooting Failed
Calibrations‚ page 6-4.
Recalling Calibration Results
1. Select Recall > Calibrations.
The screen displays the list of calibrations by date and time. The list indicates whether
the calibration was a 1-point, a 2-point, or a full calibration. The list also indicates
whether any diagnostic messages are associated with the calibration.
2. Use the up and down arrows to view all the calibrations.
To view the measurement and drift values, if available, ensure that you select the full
calibration report in the printing options. Refer to Selecting Printer Options‚
page 8-22.
3. To print the calibration report, select a calibration and then select
Print.
4. To send results to a data management system or an LIS, select
