External Calibration
An external calibration must be performed for each channel. Keep in mind that, when you press
the “External Calibration” button, only the channel that is selected in the “Channel” field will be
calibrated.
To perform the external calibration:
From the Optical Interface Dialog Bar, click on Acquire Options
Remove the optical signal from the input connector
Select the SIA Channel that you would like to calibrate
On the Acquire Options menu, select the External Calibration button
The calibration will be performed and, when complete, the message, “The calibration was
successfully completed,” will appear. Reconnect your signal after the calibration process is done.
In the event that a calibration error warning appears, repeat the calibration process making sure:
All optical signals are removed from the optical input
