The standard calibration (daily calibration)
The daily calibration is very important to do in the afternoon (about 1 hour before the start of

2.
From the sequencer GUI, click in the ‘Next OB’ button.
3.
Verify in the DRS if the calibration goes without errors
Figure 5 - Thorium1 lamp warm warning
Figure 6 - Thorium lamp1 turn off warning
During the command execution the status is visualized into the observation Execution logs
window and, at the end of execution, a bell sound confirms the correct execution of the
command (if the sound is a horn noise, this means that something goes wrong and an error
should be shown in the observation Execution logs window).
The standard calibration procedure is about 11 minutes long.
Very important:
When the calibration ends, turn off the thorium 1 lamp:
1.
Click on the Turn OFF button of THO1 lamp
2.
Click on the Turn OFF button of THO2 lamp (if you will not observes in thorium
simultaneous mode)
3.
On the LCU Device Monitor verify the lamps status (Figure 4)
Note: If the TH1 lamp remains in the on state, after a while a warning window appears.
The observer can decide if maintain the lamp in on (only if he is using it) or turn off it.
