Initial configuration
The installation CD-ROM copy of the SAMPLES.MDB file contains
initial factory calibration data unique to that instrument.NOTE
If you wish to restore the original configuration, archive your sample data
before doing so (see Chapter 13 for information on using the Database
Manager software). Then copy the original SAMPLES.MDB file from the
CD-ROM to the database directory corresponding to your operating system
(see table, previous page).

verify/edit the instrument and calibration settings to ensure that they
conform to the actual characteristics of your
