Our

 

calibration

 

charts

 

are

 

designed

 

around

 

using

 

8

 

samples

 

for

 

each

 

set

 

of

 

readings.

  

Using

 

8

 

samples

 

offers

 

the

 

best

 

balance

 

of

 

accuracy

 

and

 

rapid

 

measurement

 

performance,

 

but

 

you

 

can

 

choose

 

between

 

1
