Temperature calibrator with advanced functionality

A method for calibrating a temperature sensor applying a dry block, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• controlling an arrangement by a processor;
• allowing connections to instruments or sensors to be measured by at least one pair of connecting terminals;
• performing heating and/or cooling of a desired part of the arrangement by a heating and cooling unit comprising at least one heating and cooling element, when desired;
• placing a temperature sensor in an insert for calibration,
• wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
• performing at least one operation and/or measurement and/or generation by a multifunctional process calibrator, where the multifunctional process calibrator is performing operations, measurements and generations concerning at least two different quantities taken from a group of voltage, current, pressure, temperature, frequency, and resistance;
• wherein
• integrating the heating and cooling unit and the multifunctional process calibrator in a single housing forming the arrangement, wherein the arrangement comprises:
• an internal, rechargeable battery, which provides power to the arrangement except for the use of the at least one heating and cooling element;
• and
• an accelerometer for detecting an inclination angle of the arrangement, and if the inclination angle exceeds a threshold angle, relaying a warning to a user of the arrangement.
