Chapter 4 Maintenance and Calibration 71Enter the CorrectionsEnter the calculated TOCs for the three calibration standards into their correspondingCorrection boxes (Column 3) and touch Apply Corrections. A confirmation window popsup inquiring whether the corrections should really be applied at this time. Touch Cancelto quit without changes, or touch Accept to update the temperature offsets.Figure 37. Enter and apply corrections.Calibration CompleteA pop-up window signals the successful completion of the offset calibration procedure.Once back in the calibration window (Figure 38): (1) Column 2 of the TemperatureOffsets Table displays the new offsets (previous offsets plus the corrections just entered),(2) the boxes in Column 3 are again zero waiting for input from the next AcceptabilityTest, (3) the last calibration date is updated, (4) the calibration index is incremented, and(5) a new expiration date for the temperature calibration is displayed (based on theCalibration Interval).Figure 38. Calibration complete.The offset corrections (TOCs) from the Acceptability Test become obsolete as soon asthey are entered into the calibration menu and calibration is successfully completed. Donot enter the these results a second time! To recalibrate again, you must performthe entire Acceptability Test from the beginning.Press the Melt Tab at the top to begin using the OptiMelt again.OptiMelt Automated Melting Point System
