A template for linear calibration. Enter the spectrum id, the pixel distance to each peak (zero left), and the known wavelengths for the peaks. Wavelengths for two known peaks for CFL are entered.

Use a fluorescent bulb spectrum to calibrate your spectrometer
You can calibrate with a clear fluorescent spectrum like the one shown here. If the current spectrum is not usable, you can record a new one, and if you do not change your spectrometer, you can use the calibration for subsequent spectra.
First, click on the highest peak of the middle blue band:
Complete your calibration
Now, click at the peak of the green band as shown here:
