  • Calibration detection system and method
    Patent number: 8437974
    Abstract: An improved calibration detection system for use in calibrating an electronic apparatus includes a processor apparatus, an evaluation apparatus, and a connection apparatus. The connection apparatus includes a plurality of leads and is operated by the processor apparatus to internally switch and connect the various leads with various elements of the evaluation apparatus. By enabling all of the leads to be connected at the outset with the electronic apparatus and by internally switching the connections between the leads and the various elements of the evaluation apparatus, the calibration detection system saves time and avoids error in performing a testing protocol.
