7.3 CALIBRATION TAB
Magnification Calibration tab:
The Magnification Calibration procedure is an Administrator level procedure that is
conducted at Norland Products. The robust design does not require a Magnification
Calibration to be conducted by the customer. The customer only has to enter the
magnification calibration factor located on the back of the interferometer into the software
after it has been installed.
Magnification Calibration assures that the correct system magnification is being used
during measurement scans, for accurate radius of curvature (ROC) and fiber height
results. A calibration standard, with NIST Traceable 10mm and 25mm ROC, is used
during this procedure.
The Magnification Calibration Procedure is not shown in the manual. If for any reason
a calibration is called for by Norland Products, a procedure will be sent. If there is a need
to confirm the system is in calibration, the Norland Products NIST-Traceable standard
can be purchased and measured in the same way as for a connector. Radius of
Curvature results that are within 2% of the calibration standard’s endface curvature
sufficiently confirms that the instrument is in calibration.
