Method and apparatus for standardization of a measuring instrument
First Claim
45. A measuring instrument for routine measurement of a sample material, comprisinga receiving means for receiving a sample container containing said sample material;
- a means for measuring said sample material when said sample container is located in said receiving means, and for measuring a reference material being contained in a portable device when said portable device is located in said receiving means;
a means for reading information from an information unit of said portable device containing said reference material when said portable device is located in said receiving means, wherein said information is about said reference material and corresponding measurements of said reference material on a master measuring instrument; and
a means for processing said information to obtain a standardization model.

Abstract
A method, a portable device and a measuring instrument for standardization of a satellite measuring instrument to a corresponding master measuring instrument are disclosed. The portable device includes a device for containing a reference material, and an information unit for storing information about the reference material and measurements of the reference material on the master measuring instrument. When placed in a satellite measuring instrument, information from the master instrument stored in the information unit of the portable device is transmitted automatically and wirelessly to the satellite instrument and, together with measurements by the satellite instrument of the reference masterial in the portable device, a standardization model for the satellite instrument and the sample type is obtained.
