White Paper: The Benefits Of Using A Documenting Calibrator

A non-documenting calibrator is a device that does not store data, or stores calibration data from instruments but is not integrated to a calibration management system. Calibration results have to be keyed manually into a separate database, spreadsheet or paper filing system.

By using a documenting calibrator, the calibration results are stored automatically in the calibrator's memory during the calibration process. The engineer does not have to write any results down on paper and so the whole process is much faster and costs are therefore reduced. Quality and accuracy of calibration results will also improve, as there will be fewer mistakes due to human error.

Benefits

• A fully traceable calibration system for the whole plant.
• The calibration procedure itself is guided by the calibrator, which uploads detailed instructions from the computer or calibration management software.
• No manual printing or reading of calibration instructions is required, again saving time and money and simplifying the process.
