I have had two requests for limited calibrations in the last month. By a limited calibration I mean an intrument that will not pass a full calibration, OOT.
One was for an x,y,z measurement scope where the z axis lead screw has to much slop in it to be repeatable causing an OOT when calibrated to OEM procedures. The cost to repair is close to buyingf a new unit. The owner wants to use it stating they only use the x and y axis and can lock out the z measure.
The second is for a four channel oscilloscope, channel four does no pass, the other three do, and rs232 does not pass. Again the cost to repair is close to buying a new unit. The owner wants to continue to use the other three channels.
Our SOP does not have any provision for a limited calibration.
Does anyone use a limited calibration????
