If the judgment criteria differ from person to person, when several persons perform calibration under exactly the same calibration conditions, there is a good possibility that the calibration values are different, which affects the measurement accuracy. Calibration must be completed in the shortest possible time.However, if the determination of stability is unclear, the calibration may be terminated before the stable state is reached, or the calibration may take more time than necessary. There is.
