Stik Thermometer Calibration Record as-found Calibration Parameters Before any adjustments are made, the present values of the Product calibration parameters should be recorded. Connect the serial cable between the computer and the Product. The commands used to read the values of the calibration parameters are given in Table 3.
1551A Ex/1552A Ex Calibration Manual At each calibration point the measurement error may be calculated by subtracting the reference thermometer temperature from the 1551A Ex/1552A Ex temperature. The temperatures and measurement errors may be recorded in Table 5. Table 5. As-found Measurement Errors Point Reference (fill in) 1551A Ex/1552A Ex (fill in)
Stik Thermometer Calibration Adjustment at the Zero Calibration Point The next adjustment is made for the middle of the temperature range of the Product. Set the bath temperature to the Zero Adjustment Temperature given in Table 7. Make sure the temperatures of the bath, reference thermometer, and the Product are settled and stable before proceeding.
1551A Ex/1552A Ex Calibration Manual The command will set the value of the CAL:USER:TEMP3 parameter to the given temperature and automatically adjust the CAL:USER:ADJ3 parameter to cause the Product to measure the given temperature accurately. The adjustment made here will not affect the measurements at the other Adjustment temperatures.
