File: Why does my calibration not seem to be correct.doc

This is issues found by our new Swiss distributor which we really look forward to working together with:

SOLUTION: SEE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT (find the attachement as a link above).

This can be done. Except fast and slow, which we plan to implement.
Select the plot type Levels, click F5 to open the plot type settings and select dBA. You can check your calibration with this plot type as well.
