Paul,
I couldn't help myself, I had to look up in the Webster dictionary the
definition of calibrate...
calibrate
cal·i·brate
Pronunciation:
\ˈka-lə-ˌbrāt\
Function:
transitive verb
Inflected Form(s):
cal·i·brat·ed; cal·i·brat·ing
Date:
circa 1864
1: to ascertain the caliber of (as a thermometer tube)
2: to determine, rectify, or mark the graduations of (as a thermometer tube)
3: to standardize (as a measuring instrument) by determining the deviation
from a standard so as to ascertain the proper correction factors
4: to adjust precisely for a particular function
5: to measure precisely ; especially : to measure against a standard
— cal·i·bra·tor \-ˌbrā-tər\ noun
Isn't that what we are doing when we use the G7 method? #4 fits well. "To
adjust precisely for a particular function."
The press is adjusted, the plates are adjusted etc.. several items are
adjusted.
Is it that you don't like the word calibrate or you don't like G7
methodology?

>> "calibration", well, so be it. I suppose they'll agree to call all

>> "calibrators" too. :-))
