The units contain calibration standards that are electronically switched when a calibra-
tion is performed. The calibration kit data for the internal standards are also stored in
the calibration unit, so that the analyzer can calculate the error terms and apply the cal-
ibration without any further input.
Advantages of automatic calibration
Automatic calibration is generally faster and more secure than manual calibration,
because:
●
There is no need to connect several standards manually. The number of connec-
tions to be performed quickly increases with the number of ports.
●
Invalid calibrations due to operator errors (e.g. wrong standards or improper con-
nections) are almost excluded.
●
No need to handle calibration kit data.
●
The internal standards don't wear out because they are switched electronically.
Limitations of automatic calibration
Calibration types TOM, TSM, TRM, TRL, TNA are not available.
