  • Patent number: 11187673
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus the for verification, calibration, and/or adjustment of a measuring instrument. The apparatus includes the measuring instrument, a reference measuring instrument, and a smart device. The apparatus performs a measuring operation in which the measuring instrument determines a value of a variable of the medium and the reference instrument determines a reference value of the variable from a sample of the medium. The measuring instrument communicates wirelessly and performs the verification, calibration, and/or adjustment on the basis of the measured value and the associated reference value. The reference measuring instrument is portable and communicates wirelessly with the smart device and the measuring instrument. An application executed on the smart device controls a data transfer between the measuring instrument, the reference measuring device, and/or the device that is required for executing the verification, calibration, and/or adjustment.
