Test bench calibration
- On the Unix station near the test bench, you need to setup the testbench (see the HTML page called "Test bench driving").
- Remove the CCD camera on the test bench (if any) and put the calibrated photodiode in place.
- Link the ke6514 ammeter to the calibrated diode and the ke486 ammeter to the other diode.
- Fill in the "CalibrationReference.txt" file and put its good path in the "calibrate.pgm" file.
You must set the banwidth, and the wavelength values for the calibration.
For each wavelength value, you must put the diode response in MilliAmpere/Watt and the precision of this value.
For example:
# BandWidth
bdw 6
# 1: Wavelength
# 2: ma/W
# [3: diode calibration error (ex:0.01=1%)]

- In PRiSM, startup the monochromator and the ammeters.
- Launch the "calibrate.pgm" script..
