Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for determining a parameter of a photodetector (e.g., a photodetector in a particle analyzer). Methods according to certain embodiments include irradiating a photodetector positioned in a particle analyzer with a light source (e.g., a continuous wave light source) at a first intensity for a first predetermined time interval, irradiating the photodetector with the light source at a second intensity for a second predetermined time interval, integrating data signals from the photodetector over a period of time that includes the first predetermined interval and the second predetermined interval and determining one or more parameters of the photodetector based on the integrated data signals. Systems (e.g., particle analyzers) having light source and a photodetector for practicing the subject methods are also described. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for determining a parameter of a photodetector according to the subject methods are also provided.
