7.7. Calibration Quality

After completing one of the calibration procedures described above, it is important to evaluate the
analyzer’s calibration SLOPE and OFFSET parameters. These values describe the linear response

curve of the analyzer. The values for these terms, both individually and relative to each other,
indicate the quality of the calibration. To perform this quality evaluation, you will need to record

the values of both test functions (Section 6.2.1 or Appendix A-3), all of which are automatically
stored in the iDAS channel CALDAT for data analysis, documentation and archival.

Make sure that these parameters are within the limits listed in Table 7-3.

These values should not be significantly different from the values recorded on the Teledyne
Instruments Final Test and Validation Data sheet that was shipped with your instrument. If

they are, refer to the troubleshooting Chapter 11.
