source rather than an electrical simulator, a test

The Hyperion and Drago have large calibration volumes,

65mm x 160mm deep, which makes them ideal to use as
portable liquid baths. Stirred liquid baths are suitable for
temperature sensors of all types, sizes and shapes. Liquid
Baths can provide smaller calibration uncertainties than dry
blocks and when used with suitable reference thermometers,
accuracies of up to 0.005°C can be achieved.
These models are part of the award winning Isocal-6 family
and with a reference probe can be used with different
accessories for Dry Block, Infrared, Surface Calibration and
even with ITS-90 Fixed Point Cells for uncertainties to
0.001°C. In Dry Block Mode, the large 65mm diameter
block allows for the calibration of either larger probes or for
calibrating many sensors simultaneously.
As a Liquid bath the sensors can be placed directly into the
stirred liquid thus avoiding the need for specially drilled
blocks. If the liquid is directly in the block then the controller
only model, or Basic (B) model, can be selected. However,
instead of putting liquids directly in the block liquid Scan to view Hyperion and Drago
