When results are received from the MC6, CMX automatically links the smart reference sensor to the user sensor. The uncertainty is then calculated automatically, with no manual configuration. The video also covers other improvements: inactive reference sensors are no longer sent to the calibrator, calibration intervals can be set in days, weeks, months or years, and updated sensors overwrite the existing ones instead of creating duplicates.
