This is the current date and time. You can compare this to the last plug-in
module calibration time. That way you will know how long it has been since
the last plug-in module calibration was performed.
This is the temperature change on the inside of the instrument since the last
mainframe calibration was performed. A positive number indicates how many
degrees warmer the mainframe is currently as compared to the temperature
of the mainframe at the last mainframe calibration.
The instrument displays Calibrated or Uncalibrated, depending on
whether the last plug-in module calibration is still valid. A calibration can be
invalidated if:
