4.5.10 User calibration (standard adjustment)
Some methods for concentration measurement provide the option to opti-
mize the original calibration stored with the method by means of a user cali-
bration.
When creating a used-defined method you can also allow a user calibration
(see section 4.5.12).
A user calibration is only valid if the difference compared to the original cali-
bration is no more than 30%.
The absorbance measurement for a user calibration can be carried out as a
single or multiple determination. With multiple determination, the absorbance
is calculated as the median from the individual measured values.
When a method is called up for which a user calibration is possible, a query
appears whether or not the user calibration should be carried out.
When a method is called up for which a user calibration is required, measure-
ment is only possible with a valid user calibration.
The usage of the user calibration is documented with the measured value
and indicated in the measured value display with [Cal].
Validity
A user calibration is always stored for the method presently called up. A user calibra-
tion is only erased if
a new user calibration is carried out
the original calibration is selected for measurement
the user calibration is manually erased
the photometer is reset to the default condition.
