7.4.1 Explanation on the Calibration of Lower Cali-
bration Point
This empty calibration will have influence on the whole curve. Due
to this, all count rates will be adjusted. That will keep the shape of
the curve, because all calibration points are extrapolated as per-
centage of the difference between the old- and the new "lower cal-
ibration point".
Adjustment can be conducted for two reasons:
• In the past you have done a multi-point calibration.
Now you will update the calibration by adjusting the lower cali-
bration point only, e.g. if the source has been replaced.
• A theoretical curve with several points is calculated. It is possi-
ble to enter these calibration points.
Then update the calibration curve by adjusting the lower cali-
bration point only.
The adjustment will be done as follows:
1. Table with value pairs before adjustment.

2. Adjust lower calibration point (0%) by 5000 cps.
(background e.g. = 100 cps)
Level in % Count rate in cps
07000
40 5000
70 3000
100 200
