I believe the last owners of Solatron were Amtek. They advised me about a year ago that CALMET Laboratory Services at Kingson
https://www.calmet.co.uk/ can calibrate the 7081. CALMET Laboratory Services is a UKAS accredited laboratory. Someone mentioned further up this thread about me posting ROM images. It was not me. I don't even have one of the meters, so would not be that interested in ROMs at the minute.
