1. While using the Instrument Viewer or the Method Editor, select Calibrate from the View
menu.
2. Restore the default Heat Flow calibration by selecting Heat Flow from the Restore

and selected All from the Restore menu, then you do not need to restore the default
Heat Flow calibration here.
3. Click Save and Apply.
4. Click Close in the Calibration window.
5. In Data Analysis, use the same data file obtained when you performed the indium run,
or perform a run using another reference material.
6. Perform a Peak Area with Onset calculation and note the
result recorded for the reference material when you performed this step for
temperature calibration.
The measured
H value for indium is used to calibrate the heat flow of the DSC 4000. If you
just performed the temperature calibration on a data file, the data file should still be
displayed.
To perform the heat flow calibration, perform the following steps:
1. With either the Instrument Viewer or the Method Editor as the active window, select
Calibrate from the View menu.
The Calibrate dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the Heat Flow tab.
3. Enter the name of the reference material you used.
4. Enter the expected
5. Enter the measured
6. Enter the Weight of the reference material used.
7. Enter the calibration method used.
8. Click the Save and Apply button in the Calibration window to send the new calibration
value to the analyzer and save the current calibration file.
9. Click Close to close the Calibration window and begin using the new calibration values.
