It is almost never necessary for someone using a Go!Temp to calibrate it. Each device is carefully calibrated as part of the manufacturing process, and they are very accurate and repeatable. If you really want to calibrate, you can. There are two procedures than ca be used:
OPTION 1: One-point calibration
- Place the Go!Temp in a water bath of known temperature.
- Click on Experiment/Calibrate, then choose Calibrate Now. Note that One-point Calibration is checked.
- Enter the correct, known temperature and choose Keep. Go!Temp will now be calibrated.
OPTION 2: Two-point calibration (more complex)
- Set up two water baths of known temperature.
- Click on Experiment/Calibrate, then choose Calibrate Now.
- Select the One-point calibration check box to clear it.
- Start with the Go!Temp in one of the water baths. Enter the correct, known temperature and choose Keep.
- Move the Go!Temp to the second water bath and complete the two-point calibration. Go!Temp will now be calibrated.
Saving the Calibration to the Go!Temp
Choose the Calibration Storage tab, then click the button labeled Set Sensor Calibration. This will bring up a dialog box showing where the new calibration will be stored. Page 2 is the default. This is the page that was previously used for the Kelvin calibration. Overwriting this calibration is not a problem.
Reset factory defaults
If you want to reset Go!Temp settings to factory defaults, Choose Experiment>Calibrate>Go!Temp, then choose the Calibration Storage tab and click on Restore Factory Defaults.
