In case of single-level calibration, the relative response factor (RRF) is evaluated using response and amount values from calibration samples. Depending on the RF definition in the global calibration settings, one of the following formulas applies:
With RF defined as Response per amount:
With RF defined as Amount per Response:

RRF |
Relative response factor |
RelResponse |

RelAmount |
Relative amount |
The amount and concentration are calculated according to the following formulas, using the response value from the sample measurement:
With RF defined as Response per amount:
With RF defined as Amount per Response:
Amount = RRF * RelResponse * AmountISTD

For multi-level calibration, the relative response factor is evaluated from the calibration curve.
