Page 5: Safety And Precautionary Measures
Only applicable for firmware versions lower than 3.02.01: No calibration data from calibrations carried out directly on the SUPREMA are stored in the data- base used by SUPREMA Calibration. This is why no reports are available for calibrations and First calibrations carried out directly on the SUPREMA. -
Page 6: Hardware And System Requirements
The following software has to be installed to use SUPREMA Calibration: • SUPREMA Manager, version 2.4.0.x or higher To use SUPREMA Calibration, a database has to be created with SUPREMA Manager.This data- base must include the dataset for the SUPREMA to be calibrated. SUPREMA Calibration... -

Administration rights are required for installation. Installation Process Insert data carrier. Run the setup file on the data carrier to install both MSA-App and SUPREMA Calibration. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard. Start the SUPREMA App on the PC. -
Page 8: Msa-App
MSA-App MSA-App SUPREMA Calibration and other software programs from MSA run as plug-ins inside the host application MSA-App. When SUPREMA Calibration is installed, MSA-App is part of this installa- tion. The screen of the MSA-App has the following layout: Fig. 1... - Page 9 MSA-App Choose SUPREMA Calibration from the list of plug-ins. The plug-in version is shown. Fig. 2 Choosing a plug-in Activate the chosen plug-in with the Start plug-in button The chosen plug-in is active. Every window with a Close button has to be closed with this button to continue.
- Page 10 The menu has three entries, the first one is specific to the active plug-in and appears after a plug- in has been chosen, in case of SUPREMA Calibration, it is Settings (see chapter 6 "Settings"). The settings and the language for the MSA-App can be changed with Extra.

SUPREMA Calibration uses the database file (.sdf) created with SUPREMA Manager. When starting SUPREMA Calibration for the first time, it is necessary to select the location of the data- base used by SUPREMA Manager to read and store data. Before calibrations can be carried out, an existing database file path must be chosen. -
Page 15: Data Management
Data Management Data Management At least one dataset is required for SUPREMA Calibration. As long as no Local SUPREMA dataset has been entered, the button Change is marked red. In this case a new SUPREMA dataset has to be added using SUPREMA Manager. -
Page 16: Synchronise Data
Use SUPREMA Manager to download the complete calibration logbook data. This way, data from calibrations carried out directly on the SUPREMA will be entered into the database used by SUPREMA Calibration. For firmware versions lower than 3.02.01 no calibration logbook data can be synchro- nized. -

Page 18: Calibration
WARNING! No calibration data from calibrations carried out directly on the SUPREMA are stored in the data- base used by SUPREMA Calibration. Because the calculation of the relative sensitivity is based on the most recent First calibration before the calibration is carried out, incorrect values could result from a First calibration carried out directly on the SUPREMA. - Page 19 No first calibration data available If applicable, choose an option to continue. Start calibration with the Start button. If for the selected measuring point no first calibration is available, Zero point adjustment is not available and a warning is shown. SUPREMA Calibration...
