Calibration
Multi ion calibration
The operator should be familiar with the Single Point and Multi
Point calibrations for a Single Ion.

Choose the elements you wish to include in the calibration from the
Multi menu. The display will change from No to Yes, indicating each
ion has been chosen. In this example Na and K are chosen.
1 Na Yes 5 Ba No
2>K Yes
3 Li No
4 Ca No 8 Ready
Once all the ions are chosen select 8 Ready. The Number of Points
menu will come up as before. Choose 1 for Single Point and up to 10
for Multi Point. In this example we’ll conduct a multipoint calibration
with 5 points.

Once the blank value has been acquired the display will prompt for
the concentrations of each ion in turn. In this example: 5.0 ppm for Na
and 1.0 ppm for K.
Na- MI Calib- Pt 1
accept = Preset or
Enter Concentration
(0.0ppm): 5.0
K- MI Calib- Pt 1
accept = Preset or
Enter Concentration
(0.0ppm): 1.0
After Pt 1 has been acquired it will prompt for Pt 2. In this example Na
is 10.0ppm and K is 2.0 ppm.
Na- MI Calib- Pt 2
accept = Preset or
Enter Concentration
(0.0ppm): 10.0
K- MI Calib- Pt 2
accept = Preset or
Enter Concentration
(0.0ppm): 2.0
Repeat for the remaining set of points.
