7.5. DYNAMIC MULTIPOINT SPAN CALIBRATION
Dynamic calibration involves introducing gas samples of known concentrations to an
instrument in order to record the instrument’s performance at a predetermined sensitivity
and to derive a calibration relationship. A minimum of three reference points and one zero
point uniformly spaced covering 0 to 90 percent of the operating range are recommended
to define this relationship.
The analyzer's recorded response is compared with the known concentration to derive the
calibration relationship.
To perform a precision check, the instrument set up, sources of zero air and sample gas
should conform to those described in Section 6.2.
Follow the procedures described in section 6.2 for calibrating the zero points.
For each mid point:
