The Nanocalorimeter Calibration System is used to calibrate each individual nanocalorimeter sensor chip used in the nanocalorimetry measurements project. The system is automated using LabView and has a pyrometer to measure the sensor chip temperature while the virtual instrument cycles through a range of applied voltages, measures the temperature and resistance at many points, and calculates the temperature-resistance relationship (TCR). The instrument records four temperature-resistance curves, averages them, and solves for the coefficients of a curve fit.
