5.4 Calibration reports
After each calibration a report is generated and stored in the meter’s memory. The date of calibration,
the buffers used, measured temperature and, in the case of a multi-point calibration, the calculated
slopes are summarized in this report. Calibration reports are shown after each calibration and are
stored by the meter.
5.4.1 Review calibration reports
A calibration report can be viewed to review how the last calibration process was performed. To see
the report and results again at a later time, it can be opened form the calibration reports menu.
The SI400 stores only the latest calibration report and only this last report can be reviewed:
To review a calibration report (SI400):
Go to the Calibrate menu,
and choose Calibration report.
Exit the report with the Close button, or remove
the report with the Delete button.
The SI600 has the possibility to save, review and send the last seven calibration reports to a PC:
To review a calibration report (SI600):
Go to the Calibrate menu,
and choose Calibration reports.
Now select Browse reports.
Choose and select one of the calibration
reports in the list.
Exit the report with the Close button, or remove
the report with the Delete button.
5.4.2 Interpreting the displayed slope percentage
The slope percentage displayed in the calibration report is an indication of the calibration’s success
and the state of the probe.
Normal slopes should be between 105% – 95%.
Slopes outside these values, indicate polluted or aging probes. Although calibrations and
measurements can be performed the measured values may be less accurate. In this case, be sure to
replace the probe.
