Teledyne T360 User Manual

All equipment used to produce calibration gases should be verified against 
standards of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).  To 
ensure NIST traceability, we recommend acquiring cylinders of working gas that 
are certified to be traceable to NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM).  These 
are available from a variety of commercial sources. 

A strip chart recorder, data acquisition system or digital data acquisition system 
should be used to record data from the T360’s serial or analog outputs.  If analog 
readings are used, the response of the recording system should be checked against 
a NIST traceable voltage source or meter.  Data recording device should be 
capable of bi-polar operation so that negative readings can be recorded.  For 
electronic data recording, the T360 provides an internal data acquisition system 
(DAS), which is described in detail in Section 4.7. 

This is the basic method for manually calibrating the Model T360 CO

without functioning zero/span valve options.  It is identical to the method 
described in the GETTING STARTED (Section 3) of this manual and is repeated
