[volt-nuts] What really gets calibrated?

[Marv @ Home]

Not to mention that calibrating+adjusting modern devices with a 
modern calibrator is nearly fully automated, so adjustments included 
adds very little to the final cost.

However, older instruments that require manual calibration are more 
costly to calibrate and choosing the right lab capable of doing the 
older procedures correctly is an equally important choice.
