I may want to modify the procedure to allow us to calibrate and make several
measurements before re-calibration when we are in a stabile environment. For
example, when we are in the lab and we want to make iterative measurements there
is often a need to see the variability of the sample without introducing the error of
re-calibrating the unit.
Can we accommodate this technique with the database?
