Hi All,

I'm looking for an analog looop calibrator/trobuleshooter for current/voltage. There are so many kinds and I have no experience with them. Any suggestions?

1) You get what you pay for.
2) The price of a calibrator is one thing. The cost to have it re-certified every year (or whatever the calibration interval is) is not insignificant.
3) For pressures, it is hard to beat a dead-weight tester. Digital meters are okay for quick checks, but in many cases are not usable for actual traceable calibrations.
4) Do you need to worry about temperature?

As an aside, I can't think of a single point at this facility where we actually care about 4-20ma or 0-10V even. We care that the operator displays and recording equipment indicates the proper values.

I won't really use that for as an actual calibrator. Mostly for troubleshooting. Don't need any temperature mesurements.
