A
WARMING UP
message may appear for up to 30 minutes. During
this time, the EasyStat will not calibrate or analyze samples.
New electrodes require a short stabilization period to prevent drift
errors. This stabilization is minimized by the analyzer, which performs
calibrations every hour for 8 hours. After this stabilization period,
the analyzer will calibrate at the calibration frequency selected under
CAL FREQUENCY
in the
CONFIGURATION
section of the
SETUP MENU
