QAQC:
Run the Si reference disk at least at the beginning, middle, and end of every expedition. This tracks intensity and diminishes as the x-ray tube gets older. Run it using the measurement program Aeris provided predefined creator program “Silicon (Cu Tube)”. You need to unlock the cover and insert the ni filter.
The Aeris is provided with its own corundum standard. It is a round white disk. It should be kept in its sample holder to avoid getting scratched and damaged. Both corundum and the Si disk can be used to verify that the actual peaks align with theoretical peak angles. If there is drifting on the xaxis see the Advanced User Guide for instructions on calibrating the x-offset, this should be uncommon with the Aeris optics system.
