8 Calibration
8.1 Calibration of the spectrum measurement and the total flux
measurement
For this calibration an LED calibration source is needed. A tungsten lamp cannot be used
because its IR radiation is detected by the solar panels but not by the spectrometer.
Follow these steps:

To calibrate the FluxGage click ‘Calibration’ on the top banner.

Position the calibration source over the FluxGage.

In the setting area, enter the total luminous flux of the calibration source in the
luminous flux box.

Click ‘Open Light File’ and select the spectral calibration file of the calibration source.
