Ron,
        Check out Metcal's website @ www.metcal.com, they have a wealth
of information on their systems. One of the great features for an ISO
operation is the fact that calibration is never required, it's worth the
price for that even without the superior performance they provide. We
have over 150 units here, and would never switch to anything else....
