[Video Transcript]

Hi, I'm Jim Oswald, Tech Support Supervisor for Sierra Instruments in Monterrey, California. I'm just going to answer a few questions today about our line of scientific controllers and meters called our 100 SmartTrak series.

By the way, in the back here, are some examples of our 100 SmartTrak controllers and meters. We have a big one here, we have some smaller ones.

How reliable are our calibrations, you might wonder? And why do we, at Sierra, take it so seriously?

Let me explain NIST a little bit, and why we're so confident in these meters. NIST is the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and they have, in their possession, all kinds of standards that everybody looks to, to measure. They have a clock that is perfectly set up, atomically. They have gasses, they have links and weights, and all those standard type measurements.

When you want to make sure your instrument is reading correctly, well, you have to reference something. So we offer a calibration that's traceable back to all of those primary devices. So you can be sure that when you are measuring some kind of parameter, you know that it is lined up with the National Institute of Standards and Technology. I think this gives you a lot of flexibility, a lot of accuracy.

And if you have any questions, you can call us here at Sierra Instruments, or you can contact us by email, and we'll be glad to explain more to you. Thanks for listening in today.
