3. On the TG Drift tab uncheck Perform Balance Optimization (~7 hours) and
check Perform Baseline Optimization.
4. For a TGA 8000 without an autosampler, place a clean empty sample pan in the
stirrup at the end of the hangdown wire. Place it there manually with tweezers while
the autosampler is in the Safe position.
For an autosampler system, use the Autosampler Control dialog box to load a
sample.
5. Enter the minimum and maximum temperatures between which the baseline will be
determined (e.g., set minimum to 50 °C and maximum to 1150 °C).
Select a scanning Rate (°C/min) that you will be using for scanning analyses (e.g.,
6.
20 °C/min).
7. Click Begin Calibration.
An estimate of the amount of time needed to perform the calibration is displayed and
it begins to count down.
8. When the calibration is complete, click Save & Apply to send the new calibration
value to the analyzer and save the file
(SN_weightcal_st_balanceopt_baselineopt20C.tg8c).
9. Click Close to exit the Calibration window.
The TGA 8000 calibration is now complete. This ends the installation of the TGA 8000.
