Are the AIM-8 calibration scale factors supposed to vary from one monitor to the next?
This depends on the amount by which they vary. When using more than one AIM-8 monitor, one may notice that the calibration scale factors may differ between the units. This variation is normal and to be expected since there are variations in the Analog to Digital converters used in each unit. However, scale factors near or above 1.0 would be way out of range, and, therefore, indicated a problem with the monitor, electrode cable, calibration box, or the AIM_HOST system. Even scale factors greater than 0.1 are too large and indicate a possible problem somewhere in the system.
