To enter the offset values you require, tap on the 'Change' button and a further screen will appear:
The reference value is the expected temperature, and the Stage measured value is the displayed temperature. For example if you have a pure
sample that has a known melting point of 50°C and the displayed temperature when the sample melts is 50.3°C, you would enter 50.0 in the
'Reference value' field and 50.3 in the 'Stage measured value' field.
As long as the following rules are observed, any values can be entered - the default temperatures are guidelines only.
·
Up to 5 calibration points can be applied at different temperature ranges.
·
If you do not wish to use a calibration point then leave both values the same.
·
The calibration points must be in ascending order of temperature
·
The temperature ranges chosen must not overlap
·
The maximum offset within any point pair is 20°C. If you are experiencing a discrepancy of greater than 20°C, please contact Linkam technical
support.
Once the required values have been entered, tap 'Apply' to save them, and tap the 'X' to close this window.
To activate sample calibration, check the 'Apply sample calibration' check box on the initial stage setting screen.
When there is an active sample calibration, the sample calibration indicator
on the main options bar will be illuminated.
Note:
The sample calibration values are stored on stage lead of the currently connected stage. Each stage lead can have its own set of stored values.
