How to import calibration data into PicoLog

Products: TC-08, PT-104, RH-02

For this we are going to create a scaling file, this will allow the calibration data to be used for each channel without the need to type everything again.

The folowing data should be saved into a file with an .scl extension, e.g. TC-08cal.scl
The information is to be drawn out of the calibration certificate, including The unit S/N# and calibration details is recommended.
