Harry, Here is an animated chart of the calibrations. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxxJkjesxe4kZ295dXF0cTVLSW8/view
It doesn't appear that it was calibrated empty, but rather had an alumina rod inserted. It's not completely clear to me what they did, but they did do 4 calibrations it appears. http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/en/home/mfmp-blog/515-glowstick-5-2 Jack On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 9:29 AM H LV <hveeder...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jack, > > Okay that would explain it.
