Calibration
When performing a multi-point calibration always start with the
lowest concentration and work up to the highest.
The accept to Skip option allows the user to adjust only one or more
points within the calibration curve without needing to repeat the
entire calibration. Accept will skip to the next point. Back will go back
to the previous point.

This screen displays the ions that have calibrations already
assigned. A dot (.) after the element shows the stored calibration
is single point; a colon (:) after the element indicates a multi-point
calibration (in this example Li is shown as a single point, Ca as a
multi-point).
Select the ion to be calibrated (in this example K) by pressing the
relevant numeric key or scroll and press accept (we’re going to use
4 points for this example). (The value displayed in brackets refers
to the previous calibration data points, if this is still correct, press
accept instead of entering a new number) Enter the amount of
points and press Accept.

A screen offering the option to skip is displayed, this allows
calibration modification (described later) wait 4 seconds. Ensure
you are aspirating the Blank calibration standard. The screen will
update and start the Blank calibration process
