Chapter 5: Calibration
Introduction
When purchasing an LPI1010 system, it already comes fully calibrated and ready to use. However, there might be
circumstances to re-do the calibration, for example when using different cables or the quality of your data is in
question. It is recommended calibrating your instrument at least once a year.
Before calibrating the LPI1010, please make sure that your Interface 1010 is fully calibrated or calibrate it first if
required.
Calibration can be initiated through Framework™ software, or directly through the Gamry Instrument Manager
(GIM) . To initiate calibration, use one of the following steps:

Click the Calibrate in Framework button, located in the Calibration area of GIM. This launches the
appropriate calibration routine for the instrument selected in GIM. Follow the instructions given in
Framework. See the relevant Calibration Quick Start Guide for additional details.
If there are any failures during calibration, click the Email Results to Gamry Support button in GIM. One
of our support engineers will review the results and provide appropriate advice.
You run the Instrument Manager by selecting Options/Instrument Manager... on the Framework Menu.
