Perform a calibration check and recalibrate if required
Note:
This calibration check is only for calibration software V1.0 users. Systems with LDI
calibration V2.0 should consult section 19.2 for calibration checks.
Set Up:
2.1 Avoid bright lighting; draw blinds/curtains and switch off desk lamps.
2.2 Avoid vibration.
2.3 Ensure the flux standard is equilibrated to room temperature for at least 60 minutes.
2.4 Ensure the LDI has been powered on for at least 30 minutes.
2.5 Gently shake calibration block for about 10 seconds - allow to settle for about 2 minutes before
calibrating.
2.6 Set up the open face of the calibration block 29cm from the front panel of the moorLDI (below left).
The bottle surface will then be 30cm from the front panel of the LDI as it is recessed within the
block. Adjust the position of the block up and down so that the centre of the bottle is illuminated - a
lab jack stand is an ideal tool for this (below right).
2.7 Load Moor Calibration utility (exit any other moorLDI measurement software beforehand).
