[Amps] Cal Lab

[Will Matney]

Dave,

No, I wont be certifying anything. It's just a service to get a meter close to where it should be without having to pay a big cal lab price. In other words, I wont be doing calibrations on any equipment that has to be certified. Only for folks like us who don't need the certification.

Best,

Will
