If  the  signal  is  stable  the  calibration  factor  is  calculated  and  saved.  The  success  of  the 

calibration process is confirmed by a displayed message. 

 

 

 

Press  the 

ENTER

  button  to  finish  the  calibration  process.  The  new  calibration  factor  is 

shown in the upper right corner of the display. The four measured and calculated voltages 

are  shown  in  the  display  according  to  the  ViewFine  mode  (

see  chapter  15.2

).  The 

calibration is now finished. 

 

 

In case of a problem during the calibration, an error message will be displayed. 

 

 

In this case the RI2012 uses the old calibration factor for further measurements. Repeat the 

process of calibration as describe before.
