DSC Calibration Report

If an instrument has been properly calibrated, a calibration report can be generated. Select Calibrate/Report from the main menu to display a window such as the one shown to the right.

This reports lists the information below, obtained from the following types of calibration procedures.

Select from the following topics for more information:

• Baseline slope and offset calibration

BaselineCal

• Enthalpy (cell) constant calibration

Kcell

• Heat capacity MDSC calibration

Cpconst MDSC Total

Cpconst MDSC Revervsing

AutoZero Delta T Offset = zero heat flow delta T offset (0 = no offset applied)

AutoZero Delta T0 Offset = zero heat flow delta T0 offset (0 = no offset applied)

• Heat capacity Q1000 calibration

Cpconst Standard

• Temperature calibration

TempCal

• Tzero calibration

TzeroDt = Delta T slopes and offsets

TzeroDtz = Delta Tzero slopes and offsets

InstCal File Tzero = calibration result file

InstCal File Baseline = baseline data file

InstCal File Sapphire = sapphire data file

TempRange = temperature range and heating rate

The information displayed in this report will vary based on the model of DSC, current mode, and/or selected heat flow (for the Q2000, Q1000, Q200, and Q100).

Many of these calibrations can be performed using the DSC Calibration Wizard, accessed by selecting Calibrate/Calibration Wizard from the main menu.

Select Print to generate a hard-copy result. You can also select Copy from the Clipboard or View from Editor from the right-click pop-up menu.
