Run a spatial calibration
Spatial calibration overview
A spatial calibration associates the signal from each capillary to a specific position on the CCD camera.
When to perform a spatial calibration
Perform a spatial calibration if you perform any of the following actions:
•
Re-install a capillary array
•
Replace the capillary when it expires
•
Move the instrument
•
Open the detection cell heater door or move the detection cell
Note: If you perform any of the first three actions, the software requires you to run a spatial calibration
before you perform a regular run. If you open the detection cell heater door and move the detection cell,
the software does not detect that the capillary array is no longer calibrated. It is critical to run a spatial
calibration before performing a regular run if you have opened the detection cell heater door or moved
the detection cell.
Note: If you use a maintenance wizard to change the capillary array (see “Maintenance wizard
overview” on page 359), a spatial calibration is automatically performed during the procedure.
