Calibrating the hardware
Factory calibration
The Measurement Computing Manufacturing Test department performs the initial factory calibration. Return
the device to Measurement Computing Corporation when calibration is required. The recommended calibration
interval is one year.
Field-calibration
The USB-5201 supports field-calibration with InstaCal. Calibrate the device whenever the ambient temperature
changes by more than ±10 °C from the last self-calibration.
Allow the USB-5201 to operate for at least 30 minutes before calibrating.
