Claim 9:
10. A method applicable with an arrangement, which arrangement comprises a dry block, for detecting and/or increasing stability of a temperature calibration, wherein the method comprises the step of:
heating and/or cooling the dry block by a heating and cooling device comprising heating elements,, wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
measuring an applied input power to the heating elements of the heating and cooling device by a power metering integrated circuit, the applied input power originating from mains voltage of the dry block,
executing a real-time compensation algorithm by a controller, the real-time compensation algorithm outputting a control signal to the heating elements requesting less or more power from the heating elements based at least in part on the applied input power measured by the power metering integrated circuit,
sensing orientation of the dry block by an orientation sensor in order to detect, whether the dry block is not staying in a fully upright position, and
deciding the dry block as unstable by the controller if the dry block is leaning.
