21. A method for testing the accuracy of a radiation-sensing thermometer, said method comprising:
-
connecting the radiation-sensing thermometer to a portable test apparatus comprising a first target adapted to be maintained at a first target temperature for sensing by the radiation-sensing thermometer and a second target adapted to be maintained at a second target temperature different from said first target temperature for sensing by the radiation-sensing thermometer; sensing the temperature of the first target with the thermometer; sending the sensed temperature of the first target to the portable test apparatus; sensing the temperature of the second target with the thermometer; sending the sensed temperature of the second target to the portable test apparatus; analyzing the received sensed temperatures with a processor of the portable test apparatus; and providing an indication to the user about whether the thermometer is functioning properly. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
