8.1.4. O3 PHOTOMETER DARK CALIBRATION

The Dark Calibration Test turns off the Photometer UV Lamp and records any offset signal level of the UV
Detector-Preamp-Voltage to Frequency Converter circuitry. This allows the instrument to compensate for any
voltage levels inherent in the Photometer detection circuit that might affect the output of the detector circuitry and
therefore the calculation of O3 concentration.
