The goal of any electronic calibrator is to check the accuracy of the electronic measuring device. The calibrators can also help to make adjustments of the instrument, as a means to remedy any issues found. The calibrators are able to help you understand the error in measurement of the device being tested, and will make it easier to bring the device into line.

Most of the time, calibrators are used to ensure accuracy in specifications. It is possible to use these in a wide range of different industries. Anywhere that an electronic device needs to be calibrated and tested, you are going to find calibrators. In most cases, those who are using the calibrators also conduct a certification process. They certify that the product that they have calibrated is within the proper standards according to the International Organization of Standardization.

 

There are a number of different types of calibrators on the market today. There are block calibrators, simulators, and more. The majority of the devices today are handheld and mobile. This makes them very easy to use for engineers and others who need to visit a number of locations and perform calibration for many machines throughout the day.

The calibrators are used similarly despite differences and make and model. The user will attach the calibrator and will make adjustments until the device being tested is meeting the specifications of the manufacturer. The frequency of calibration can vary based on a number of factors. Companies may have different requirements set forth for calibration of certain equipment, for example.
 

There are many manufacturers creating these electronic calibrators today. Popular manufacturers offering these items include Fluke, Druuck, Bruel & Kjaer, Omega, and PIE.
