I do this too, that way when i manually test and the result is different i know something is up.Protip: use whatever test kit you trust the most to test Alk, ca, Mg of your tank. Then run a calibration using your tank water and enter the reading from the test kits.
It might not give you the true value, but it will have all your test methods' reading line up. This trick saved my sanity. Also that's the reason I recommend keeping Alk target at 9. So if the test are off by 1, it will still be between 8 and 10. Any number within it is perfectly fine. Stability is more important. Trident reading does tend to be pretty consistent, so everything works out well.
