ALIBRATION
THE MODEL 3510 THERMOCOUPLE CONDITIONER IS THE ONLY ONE WHICH
EMPLOYS STRICTLY "ABSOLUTE" CALIBRATION. With this kind of calibration, the
zero and scaling characteristics of all allowable thermocouples are fixed and
known. Since calibration values for the TC input are prestored in the 3510’s
processor memory, there is no need for any further calibration procedures, as
