Figure B-16 shows the resulting Calibration Check message and the
prompt to store the Standard Calibration Check Level.

FIGURE B-15  

.Calibration Check

TAKE NOTE 

If you click Yes to 

this prompt and store a new 
Standard Calibration Check 
Level, all subsequent 
calibration checks in the 
Calibration Check History will 
measure deviations from this 
check.

FIGURE B-16  

.Calibration Check Message and Prompt

Click No to simply check the value and have it stored in the Calibration
Check History. Click Yes to store a new Standard Calibration Check Level.
After clicking either option, the Calibration Check message indicates that
the calibration has succeeded, as shown in Figure B-17.
