Figure 36: Calibration Parameters Screen
The Kaye Validator provides both sensor calibration and calibration verification. You specify
all calibration parameters on the Calibration Parameters screen.
Before you perform a qualification study, calibrate the temperature sensors to correct raw
temperature readings to a NIST-traceable temperature standard. During calibration the Kaye
Validator automatically corrects raw temperature sensor readings to a NIST-traceable
temperature standard to compensate for any errors inherent in sensor materials, and stores
these offsets in the associated SIMs. You can specify a one-point calibration, a two-point
calibration, or a two-point calibration and a one-point check. Sensors that do not meet the
calibration test criteria are marked as failed and are not calibrated.
After the qualification study, the Kaye Validator performs a calibration verification to verify
that the sensor readings are still within the calibration criteria. You can specify a one-point,
two-point or three-point calibration verification. If a sensor fails calibration verification, the
sensor is noted as failed but the readings are still reported. Calibration offsets are not changed
during calibration verification.
