Does this come with a calibration certificate?

You need to purchase it directly from Dataq in order to get a calibration certificate. See http://www.dataq.com/blog/data-acquisition/thermocouple-data-acquisition/el-usb-series-data-loggers-and-calibration/

Sir, check in the manual if the machine has calibration features. Check for the cables and accessories as well..

The only answer to your question that I have is that I didn't have to calibrate mine, and it seems to work correctly. This is not a hi-tech compass. It's pretty cheap overall. But if you can't afford a good one, it works in a pinch. It sticks to your window wherever it is convenient for you.

No does not require calibration. I compared with another scale and it was accurate.

I never calibrated and just started using it. I took several packages to the post office and everything checked out perfectly. They explain how to calibrate it in the manual.

It did not need calibration although I did check to make sure it was correct when I received it. I have owned it for over a year now and I keep it turned off when not using it so the batteries are still strong. I did not buy an adapter. I truly love mine. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to see, so having the weight displayed right up close is wonderful. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Hi DJ, the product comes with the tool needed to calibrate. Here's a description: http://www.cdn-timeandtemp.com/article/how-recalibrate-your-thermometer

I don't know because the thermometer appears to be quite accurate and; therefore, I haven't tried. There is no external adjusting screw and the device is hermetically sealed, so I don't think that it is designed to be calibrated.

there is a CAL model that is a little more expensive, so, according to model numbers, this is NOT the calibrated model. update: I just checked the manuf website and this model does NOT come with a CALIBRATION cert. some users are confused and think the factory INSPECTION paper is a calibration form but its not. you have to pay extra for a NIST calibration and this model does not come with it. UPDATE: I got mine (love it, btw) but it does NOT come with a true calibration cert. it comes with a factory spot-check QA cert (which is nice) but its not at all the same as traceable NIST calibration. and for this price, you would not expect to get a cal cert.

it comes with calibration solution, but i think it does in fact come pre calibrated

No special calibration is needed. As far as what tools to use, there should be instructions with your kit about the installation process.

Yes it does have to be programmed, the description lists it as "not calibrated"

no, it doesn't come with NIST cert, but it is available, see this link, and then click on the NIST logo, it will tell you it can be calibrated to NIST standard, but I guess that means you will have to pay for the calibration. http://www.extech.com/instruments/product.asp?catid=10&prodid;=57

I didn't calibrate mine. I haven't compared it with other thermometers, but it seems to be working just fine.

I'm not aware of a calibration function to it. It's simply quite accurate out of the package.

Monika,This item comes with a certificate of calibration which states. Calibration equipment: calibrated and certified by SGS, accuracy of calibration plus minus 0.5 percent. Hope this helps. Joe

I ordered one of these and was concerned that it was not reading accurately, and the company replaced it. Neither device came with a calibration certificate.
