will be installed on instruments at the time of manufacture.
Verification with a dry standard and software
This procedure includes instructions on how to:
• Enable the dry standard software and set the pass or fail criteria for
verification
• Find and save a baseline value for the dry standard using the dry
standard software
• Do a dry standard verification using the dry standard software
Find and save the baseline value for the dry standard immediately after
the instrument is calibrated and after every subsequent calibration. Refer
to
Assign a baseline value to the dry standard on page 13.
The baseline value is referenced for subsequent calibration verifications
until the next calibration.
Note: When not in use, keep the dry standard in the protective case.
Enable the dry standard software

Note: The P/F Criteria menu option is available only if CVM is set to
ENABLE in step 1.
b. Use the arrow keys to change the PFC (pass or fail criteria) value
and confirm.
