This section describes in short how to carry out the Instrument Calibration. For
more detailed information about the instrument calibrations please see section 4.6
Instrument Calibration.

Instrument Calibration consists of wavelength/bandpass calibration and intensity
correction. This ensures that all instruments are calibrated to match each other and
thereby enable a good transfer of calibration models between instruments.
For instrument calibration it is important that the instrument be thoroughly warmed
up. it is recommended that the instrument be turned on for at least two hours before
calibration.
For instrument calibration you need the ERC cup (for intensity correction) and
matching USB key.
If instrument calibration is carried out with the external wavelength reference, you
also need the EWC cup and matching USB key.
Along with the ERC and EWC cups come USB keys containing the calibration file
for the specific cup. The file and the cup are matched by a serial number
programmed into the RFID on the EWC/ERC cup. This USB keys must be
connected to the PC during the entire calibration sequences.
1. Click Instrument Calibration button.
2. Enter the 4-digit pin code to get access. The code is '1234'.
