Calibration Overview
User Calibrations
To obtain the best measurement results, it is recommended that a user
vertical calibration be performed after every 10 hours of continuous use or if
the temperature has changed by greater than 2
calibration.

Dark Calibration
The dark calibration is for electrical measurements if an external O/E is being
used. This calibration measures the optical channel oset signal when there
isn't any light present and then uses this information in performing extinction
ratio measurements. Dark calibrations should be done for the following
