First column is time in seconds, second is temperature in °C.
Attention:
You can still export the measurement in history mode, if no USB-stick was
present while measuring. See 9c .
6. Calibration
In order to obtain precise measurements, it is necessary to calibrate the machine. This is
due to the physical ambient conditions such as the air pressure. It is recommended to
check the calibration at least once per day and recalibrate if needed. The calibration can
be checked easily using a control standard. Funke-Gerber has such a control standard (-
0.512°C) in its product range.
The machine is calibrated using two-point calibration, an A-calibration and a B-calibration.
Funke-Gerber provides two different A-calibration standards (0.000°C and -0.408°C) and
two different B standards (-0.557°C and -0.600°C). As the machine can be freely
programmed, other calibration standards can also be used.
6.1. Preparing for calibration
Ensure that the machine is set to the correct calibration values. Otherwise, the calibration
values must be changed accordingly. (see 4.2. e)). Three vials each are needed for the A
and B calibration. Place the vials in
the vial stand; ensure that the sample vials are separated from each other in the vial stand
so that mix-ups between A and B are ruled out. Pipette 3 sample vials each with 2,2 ml A-
Standard and 3 vials each with 2.2 ml B-Standard.
Tip: In order to ensure that the vials are really clean, or that the calibration liquids in the
vial correspond to 100% of their value, we recommend rinsing the vials with the respective
calibration fluid in advance.
