I believe I've found the answer to my question. If only calibrating one point,
the meter won't recognise accurately acidity *or* alkalinity if no other point
is used. At least a two point calibration would be required so the meter has a
'range' to work with and knows *what* to measure...Yes/No?

Subject: CS>pH calibration fluid?
Can someone help me out here re: specifically a *single point* calibration?
If one does not need to calibrate below base 7 or below in the acidic range, is
a buffer solution of 7.01 adequate?
I know one can calibrate to determine ranges between two desired figures, but
using two buffer solutions would only be required if measuring both adicity
*and* alkalinity would it not?
If measuring *above* 7.0 only, or in the alkaline range, I would assume two
calibration points would not be necessary as the reading would/should never go
below 7 in this instance...Yes/No?
Thanks
