Master-Slave ICalization

• ICal Considers Three Components

– Instrument Differences
– Charge Differences of the Sample
– Time Shifts
• The Shift Resulting from the
Instrument Switch compared to the
Reference is by far the largest
Difference
• The Master-Slave ICalization
Eliminates Errors Resulting from
Inst and Charge

SpecInstrument(Charge_x, t) = SpecReference(Charge0, t0) + Inst + Charge + Time
