Calibration/validation overview

Introduction
This menu enables you to make simple calibrations or validations, for example, as part of
initial commissioning. This means the offered range of functions is very limited. Automation
functions, such as the use of the calibration pool, cannot be activated using this menu.
"Factory calibrations" also are not part of the functions included in the Quick Start menu.
You can find detailed information on how to fully access all possibilities of the
calibration/validation functions of the device in the section → [2.08] Settings > Calibrations.
Difference between calibration/validation
Calibration
In a calibration, the device is adapted to its measurement task(s). For the actual value to be
equal to the setpoint, the device changes one or more calibration factors during calibration.
