4.2 Calibration Notes
1. The Zero calibration is quite stable long term, and only needs to be performed
monthly as a routine check. In applications where the sensor can become dirty
or coated with oils etc., a Zero calibration may need to be done weekly.
2. A Span calibration should be performed at least weekly. Of course, more
frequent calibration will result in greater confidence in results.
