“…They were calibrated electrically with a high stability d.c. power supply, calibrated digital voltmeter, standard resistor, and time-interval counter. Descriptions of the microcalorimeters and their performance characteristics, the data-acquisition system, and the computer programs used to treat the results have been given by Steckler et al (17,18) However, some significant changes have been made subsequently in the method of data collection. Specifically, the voltages of the thermopiles of the microcalorimeters are now measured with Hewlett-Packard model 34420A Nanovolt Meters.…”
