14. Compare the values at three points on the curve to the values in the lamp file (.lmp) for your
calibration lamp. The lamp file has two columns: wavelength (nm) and absolute irradiance in
µW/cm
2
/nm.
15. Select points near the low, middle and high values of the x axis that are very close to the
wavelength values in the lamp file. If these point values are within +/- 5% of the corresponding
lamp file values, then your calibration was done correctly. If not, repeat the calibration procedure
until the values match appropriately.
