Calibrating a Spectrometer with the DH-2000-CAL
► Procedure
Follow the instructions below to calibrate a spectrometer using the DH-2000-CAL:
1. Copy all calibration files supplied with the lamp to the application (software you will be using)
folder.
2. Follow the instructions in your software for UV range calibration, using the appropriate
Deuterium lamp file (bare fiber or CC-3 Cosine Corrector).
3. Follow the instructions in your software for VIS range calibration, using the appropriate Tungsten
Halogen lamp file (bare fiber or CC-3 Cosine Corrector).
Note
You can use either UV or VIS range calibration only. Note that if the spectrometer range
exceeds the calibration range, the data obtained outside the calibration range is inaccurate
and should be discarded. Deuterium calibration is not appropriate for the VIS range, and
Tungsten Halogen calibration is not appropriate for the UV range.
If a full range calibration is required, combine the two resulting calibration files (UV and
VIS) at 400 nm either manually or in your software.
