  • Page 5: Introduction

    CalMaster IRIS and CheckMaster are stand-alone verification and validation tools within the CalMaster2 Verification Suite. CalMaster2 tests the integrity of a flow metering system by altering a number of flow measurement parameters and measuring the values returned from the flow measuring system. A report is displayed that verifies the performance of the system.
