Calibration
Calibration is recommended every 8 hours of spectrophotometer operation. Each
spectrophotometer configuration that is used should be calibrated. A configuration consists of four
components:
• Measurement Mode: Transmission, Reflectance, or Haze
•
Aperture size (6mm, 10mm, 17mm, or 22/25mm)
•
Specular included or excluded condition (SCI or SCE)
•
UV included or excluded condition
Reflectance Calibration Procedure
To calibrate your spectrophotometer in Reflectance Measurement Mode you need to use your
application software. Follow these steps:
1.
Launch the calibration process from the software interface.
2.
You will be prompted to present and then remove the calibration tile and to prepare for the
black trap.
3.
Once the calibration process is complete, the Calibrated LED becomes lit. Any change to the
spectrophotometer configuration may result in the calibration LED turning from green
(calibrated) to red (not calibrated). Remember that each configuration needs to be calibrated.
Transmission Calibration Procedure
To calibrate your spectrophotometer in Transmission Measurement Mode you need to first locate
the following items in your transmission kit box:
• Barium Coated Aperture Plate
•
Transmission Sample Holder
•
Black Plastic Blocking Panel
1.
Using your application software launch the calibration process from the software interface.
2.
Mount the Barium Coated Aperture plate to the measurement port at the front of the
instrument. Follow any prompts from the software regarding the white calibration.
3.
When you are prompted for the Black Calibration, place the Sample Transmission Holder
inside the Transmission compartment and load the Black Plastic Blocking Panel in the
Transmission sample holder. For more information on loading the Sample Transmission Holder
in the Ci7, refer to Taking Transmission Measurements.
4.
Click OK to any message for black trap calibration.
5.
Once the calibration process is complete, the Calibrated LED becomes lit. Any change to the
spectrophotometer configuration may result in the calibration LED turning from green
(calibrated) to red (not calibrated). Remember that each configuration needs to be calibrated.
