and is described in Section 2.9.8. All other values in the .glp file are equivalent to those shown
in the

CAUTION:
Calibration records for all sensors will automatically be stored in the .glp file until the

menu. However, if the Delete command is issued, all files,
including the .glp (calibration record) file will be lost. Therefore, it is extremely important to remember to
upload the .glp file to a PC or a 650 Display/Logger prior to deleting files from the sonde. See Section
2.9.3 for instructions on the upload and viewing of the .glp file.
