Calibrate the TGA 8000 . 53
3.
On the TG Drift tab uncheck Perform Baseline Optimization and check Perform
Balance Optimization (~7 hours) to perform the tests which compensate the
balance for temperature rise in the balance chamber.
4.
For a TGA 8000 without an autosampler, place a clean empty sample pan in the
stirrup at the end of the hangdown wire. Place it there manually with tweezers while
the autosampler is in the Safe position.
For an autosampler system, place a pan in Position “1” on the autosampler tray and
use the Autosampler Control dialog box to load a sample.
5.
Click Begin Calibration.
An estimate of the amount of time needed to perform the calibration is displayed and
it begins to count down.
6.
When the calibration is complete, click Save & Apply to send the new calibration
value to the analyzer and save the file (i.e. SN_weightcal_st_balanceopt.tg8c where
SN is the instrument serial number).
7.
Click Close to exit the Calibration window.
