11.3 DETERMINING THE GRATING CALIBRATION FACTOR
The following procedure allows advanced users to perform a two-point grating calibration.
Procedure:
1. Select a radiation source that has at least two narrow spectral lines in the wavelength region of
interest.
2. Select a detector with an operating range appropriate for the spectral lines.
3. Focus the radiation onto the entrance slit (the spectrograph is F/3.97). Note that a narrower slit
provides greater resolution.
4. Ensure the focused beam is parallel to the spectrograph
’s optical axis.
5. Command the spectrograph to select the grating to be recalibrated.
6. Use the STEP command to move the grating position until the first spectral line is visible at the
output.
7. Note the wavelength at which this first spectral line peak appears.
8. Use the STEP command to move the grating position until the second spectral line is visible at
the output.
9. Note the wavelength at which this second spectral line peak appears.
10. Use the formula to calculate the new Grating Factor.
11. Use the utility software to enter the new Grating Factor. The GRATINGn FACTOR command
may also be used
12. Repeat the process for the second and third gratings, if required. Depending on the
configuration, the spectrograph may have two or three gratings installed.

FACTOR = |546
– 365| / |577 – 372| = 181 / 205 = 0.8829268
