Calibration Kits
Method B: Use an ASCII file.
You can edit the ASCII file provided
on the Example Programs Disk or create your own ASCII file.
(Remember that these files are compatible with MS-DOS, and thus, you
could use any IBM-compatible PC and a text editor that can modify
ASCII files. Just be sure to include the line numbers as if it were an
IBASIC program.) You can’t read calibration kit data from the analyzer
as an ASCII file.
ASCII file example. The example program, "CALKIT," provided on the
Example Programs Disk, is listed below. Please note that the program
allows you to specify storing the downloaded file as one of ten User Cal
Kits (User Cal Kit A–J) in the analyzer. If not specified, however, the file
is stored in Cal Kit A. When reading the cal kit file, the analyzer
recognizes only the information after the "!" and ignores everything after
a "$". You can add comments after a "$". The first line of a cal kit file
must contain a "!" with a "$" directly after it. No characters are allowed
between the "!" and the "$" on the first line of a cal kit file.
