Calibrate
Jalaran Calibrate logs periodic sensor calibration checks — reference against measured across test points — and shows drift over time against your own tolerance band.
Who Calibrate is for
For anyone maintaining instrumentation where measurements have consequences — lab equipment, production sensors, test rigs. A sensor that has drifted is worse than one that has failed, because it keeps producing numbers people believe.
What Calibrate does
Each check records reference against measured across a set of test points, and passes or fails against a tolerance band you define — because tolerance is a property of your application, not of the tool. Across checks it shows a drift trend by comparing earlier readings against later ones, with a status-coloured history chart. The commentary is deliberately descriptive: it tells you the drift is there and does not diagnose why, because a cause suggested by software is a hypothesis someone will stop testing.
- Reference against measured per test point
- Pass or fail from your own tolerance band
- Drift trend across the check history
- Descriptive commentary, never diagnostic
How Calibrate works
Define test points and tolerance
Your reference points and the band that counts as acceptable for your application.
Log a check
Reference against measured at each point, recorded as a dated check.
Read pass or fail
Against your band, per point, so a sensor failing at one end of its range is visible as exactly that.
Watch the drift trend
Earlier checks against later ones. Drift is a direction, and one check cannot show you a direction.
What Calibrate does not do
Calibrate is a manual log — it does not read instruments, ingest live data or connect to anything, so checks are entered by you. It is not a certification or metrological traceability record and should not be presented as one where an accredited process is required. The commentary describes drift and deliberately never diagnoses a cause, because a plausible cause from software is one nobody investigates properly.
Common questions
Does it read my instruments automatically?
No. It is a deliberate manual log. You perform the check and record the readings, which is also what makes the record meaningful.
Why does it not tell me why a sensor drifted?
Because a cause suggested by software is a hypothesis people stop testing. It reports the drift precisely and leaves diagnosis to the engineer, which is where it belongs.
Is this a calibration certificate?
No. It is a tracking log. Where an accredited calibration with metrological traceability is required, this does not substitute for it.
