Explanation of Forcing options

Issue

This article explains the difference between the options in the forcing section of the calibration. 

Environment

• iCAP 6000 Series
• iCAP 7000 Series
• iCAP Q
• iCAP RQ
• iCAP TQ

Resolution

There are 3 options for forcing:

1. None:  Value y for x=0 is not manipulated
2. Zero:  The calibration curve will be forced to fulfill f(0)=0 which is equivalent to set a0 = 0.
3. Blank: Defines the calibration curve f(x) with x=0 as:
   1. f(0)=iBLK Emission Line
   2. or F(0)=iAverage BLK Emission Line

       depending on the current blank block mode
