Calibration Hints Nominal Stability vs. Full Stability To meet the criteria for a valid calibration point, the change (delta) in sensor response is monitored over time. The controller is looking for the calibration solution temperature and the sensor readings to settle over a specific time period. The criteria for Full Stability are designed to meet the published specifications. The criteria for Nominal Stability are designed to shorten the calibration time when an approximate calibration is acceptable.
