Calibration of the spectrometer only 

  

Follow these steps: 

 

To calibrate the FluxGage click ‘Calibration’ on the top banner of the FluxGage software. 

 

In the setting area, enter the total luminous flux value zero 

 

Click ‘Open Light File’ and select the spectral calibration file provided with the Disk-On-
Key included in the FGC100. 

 

If the file is loaded correctly, the ‘calibration file valid’ indicator will turn green. 

 

Press the push button to turn the FGC100 lamp unit on. 

 

Press ‘Autoset’ and wait for the operation to complete. 

 

In the setting area, select 30 averages.  

 

Press the push button again to turn the FGC100 lamp unit off. 

 

Press ‘Background’ and wait for the operation to complete. 

 

Press the push button to turn the FGC100 lamp unit on, and allow enough time to reach 
thermal stabilization (~30minutes). 

 

Press ‘Calibrate’ and wait for the operation to complete. 

 

At the top of the screen, the measured flux of the calibration source will appear. It 
should match the value entered in the settings area. 

 

Click on the top right corner to exit the window.

Back up calibration 

 

In addition to the working calibration there is a backup calibration. 

The backup calibration can be retrieved by pressing ‘restore back up calibration’. This will copy 
the backup calibration into the working calibration. The backup calibration can be overwritten 
by pressing ‘over write back up calibration’. This should be done when the calibration is done 
with an Ophir certified calibration unit.
