Marking Data During the Test
If you want to record specific points during the test:

  • In LabQuest App, tap Keep at key moments to capture data points. You can label these by tapping the entry box to the right of the graph and entering text in the field provided.
  • In Graphical Analysis Pro, click or tap MARK to log a data point. You can click the box next to the MARK to add a description.

CALIBRATION
– Calibrate? No.
The temperature sensor embedded in the aluminum heating block of the Melt Station will never need to be calibrated. The sensor is carefully calibrated before it ships, and this unique calibration is stored on a smart chip in the sensor. Note: There is no method to perform a calibration of this sensor in any of our software programs.
