Run a Calibration Test on a FieldLab Pressure Calibrator
Use a FieldLab to test the accuracy of another device.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Create a Calibration Test and Add it to the FieldLab.
2. Add your new Calibration Test to the FieldLab.
3. Make the proper connections.
Make airtight connections between the FieldLab Pressure, a pressure source, and the DUT.
4. Open the FieldLab Menu by pressing the Menu Button.
5. Select Test Modes from the Menu
6. Activate the Calibration Test you created and added to the FieldLab earlier.
7. Press the Right Arrow Button to Start Test
8. Adjust the pressure reading on the DUT to the units indicated on the FieldLab.
7. Press the Log Button to Log the Point
8. Review the logged readings and press the center Accept button to record the data and move on to the next point, OR select Relog to go back and re-adjust the pressure.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each point in the test.
9. Once you have recorded pressure for each point in the test, the calibration test is complete. You can now View the Data Set or select OK to return to the Main Pressure Screen.
Once you've completed a test, you can import the Data Sets (test results) from the FieldLab to FieldLab Desktop where you can export them as .CSV files or nicely formatted .PDF files to append to your test reports.
