(1) You don't do any calibrations at all? 
(2) What is the basis of your system? How do you know the accuracy of your 
     system to known spectra?
(3) If neither dosimeter is calibrated, all you have is a correlation between the two 
     independent systems. This correlation says nothing about accuracy of either measurement.
