Do you expect your measuring systems to provide precise results? Of course you do. But don't forget that both your hardware and software require regular maintenance to ensure optimum performance. That is why we have prepared a "good morning routine" for you. This checklist will help you give your systems the care they need. Can't do it all on your own? Don't want to? We'll show you how we can assist you with our maintenance services.

The proper care

Do you take good care of your hardware and software?

Good morning routine

Develop a routine in the measuring lab by regularly repeating the following steps. This way your system will run smoothly, longer and consistently delivers accurate measurement results.

Check room temperature

The temperature in the measuring lab is normally 20°C. Deviations of ± 2°C are normally ok.

Inspect the filters for discoloration and contamination, clean them on a regular basis and replace them when needed.
