Glp

the GLP or ‘Good Laboratory Practice’ file saves detailed information

about calibrations. It also includes diagnostic information about the sensors.

Calibrations are logged into a file, the GLP, for later review as needed. A single

GLP file is utilized to store all calibration records and is capable of storing 500

records. once the GLP file is full, the instrument will begin to overwrite the

oldest record with each new calibration record.

In order to keep all of your GLP records, periodically download

the GLP to Data Manager and export it to another program.

Otherwise, the unit will overwrite the oldest record once

the memory is full. Also, since Data Manager saves GLP

files under the Unit ID, you must periodically export and

rename the GLP file on your PC or it will be overwritten

each time you upload the GLP file from the instrument.

Several calibration parameters are saved for each calibration record including

optional ones that can be enabled by the user. Standard parameters include

date/time stamp, calibration method, and sensor information. optional, user

selectable parameters include User ID, Probe ID, and User Fields 1 and 2.

the sensor specific information that is saved with each calibration point is

different for each sensor. the sensor specific values saved are:

Cal Value (value of calibration solution)

Sensor Value (Cell Constant)

temperature Reference (User selected in Sensor Setup menu)
