    Abstract: A meteorological system for calibrating a field measurement apparatus includes a field measurement apparatus coupled to a field device. The measurement apparatus is configured to generate measurement signals corresponding to a physical measurement associated with the field device. The measurement signals define a raw data stream. The system also includes a mobile calibration device including a transfer function module with a resident corrective algorithm. The mobile calibration device also includes a calibration standard data module including calibration standard data associated with the measurement apparatus resident thereon. The mobile calibration device is configured to establish bi-directional communication with the measurement apparatus, facilitate shifting the measurement apparatus to a calibration mode, receive the raw data stream from the measurement apparatus, transmit the raw data stream to the transfer function module, and calibrate the field measurement apparatus. The transfer function module is configured to generate a difference data stream through the corrective algorithm.
