A very pedantic expansion of the above (but then, this is volt-nuts):
"Calibrated" means that you know (i) what your best estimate of the
actual measured quantity is, based on a given measurement (i.e., the
predicted "offset" of the calibrated instrument), and (ii) what the
uncertainty of that estimate is.
Best regards,
