Frame Stiffness and Area Function Calibration

General Information

Agilent Nano Indenter G200 User's Guide
The first step in calibrating the frame stiffness and area function is to
acquire data on fused silica over a range of displacements.
There are three methods from which the user may determine machine
compliance. These methods are:
• Frame Stiffness and Area Function Calibration: Express Test
rapid indentation.
• Frame Stiffness Calibration: ISO 14577 Method
indentation.
• Frame Stiffness Calibration: CSM Method
indentation.
See Frame Stiffness and Indenter Area Function Theory
"Theory" for more theoretical information.
Frame stiffness and area function information are stored in the same
location. To access the information, choose Tip > Configure Tip from
the main menu as shown in
