Calibration procedure

This procedure is for general use with liquid calibration solutions. Refer
to the documents that are included with each probe for additional
information.

Note: Solutions should be stirred during calibration. For more information about the
stirring settings, refer to 

Change the stirring settings

 on page 9.
