Gender of a calibration standard is typically denoted on the calibration standard label. The label and the gender of calibration standard respectively, are not accounted by the software and are used for information only. Nevertheless, it is recommended to follow some rules for calibration standard gender designation. A calibration standard can be labeled either with:
•The gender of a calibration standard itself, as –M– for male and –F– for female type of standard.
•The gender of the analyzer port, which the calibration standard is mated to, as (m) for male and (f) for female port types.
For example, same standard can be labeled as Short –F– or Short (m).
The Analyzer software uses the first type of designation: the gender of a calibration standard itself denoted as –M– for male and –F– for female type of standards.
