 *********************************************
 0. Introduction:
 This is a two-point calibration method. At the end of the process the results
 of the calibration will be stored in the FLASH memory of the sensor for
 future uses.
 The sensor is calibrated ex works, meaning that no calibration is required
 before initial startup. During operation the sensor should be calibrated if the
 measured values begin to drift.
 Rinse the sensor in clean water and dry it with a soft cloth or an absorbent
 paper before each calibration.
 With this process only one range will be calibrated, if desired, carry out
 this process for each range to be calibrated a maximum of 4 times.
 To exit the calibration without considering anything please insert 'Q' to Quit
 and press Enter.
 ****************
 1. Insert the range to be calibrated from the 4 available ranges and press Enter:
 1 for Range 1 (0 / 200 uS/cm)
 2 for Range 2 (0 / 2000 uS/cm)
 3 for Range 3 (0 / 20 mS/cm)
 4 for Range 4 (0 / 200 mS/cm)
 Example: 2
 > 1
 ****************
 2. Insert the first calibration standart value you will use (offset) and press Enter.
 0 uS/cm is recommended (sensor exposed to the air)
 Example: 0
 > 0
 ****************
 3. Immerse the sensor in a solution at your selected offset: 0.0000 uS/cm.
 Wait some minutes until the measure stabilizes..
 Observing the offset in this step will help you assess whether calibration
 is necessary or not, depending on the precision required in your application.
 Then insert 'N' for Next step and press Enter.
 0.00 uS/cm
 >
 0.00 uS/cm
 > N
 ****************
 4. Insert the second calibration standart value (slope) and press Enter.
 A solution recommended for your selected range is 84 uS/cm.
 Example: 1413
 > 1413
 ****************
 5. Immerse the sensor in a solution at your selected slope: 1413.0000 uS/cm.
 Wait some minutes until the measure stabilizes..
 Then insert 'N' for Next step and press Enter.
 1410.82 uS/cm
 >
 1410.82 uS/cm
 > N
 ****************
 6. In order to validate the calibration some data is required.
 Please insert operator's name (up to 16 letters) and press Enter.
 > LIBELIUM
 ****************
 7.Please insert calibration date.
 Insert year [yy] and press Enter.
 > 18
 Insert month [mm] and press Enter.
 > 11
 Insert day [dd] and press Enter.
 > 6
 Insert Hour [HH] and press Enter.
 > 9
 Insert minute [MM] and press Enter.
 > 55
 ****************
 Calibration successfully finished!
