Abstract
Calibration of the absolute x-ray flux telescope using proportional counters and solid state detectors was presented. The calibration of AXAF is required prior to launch into orbit, since a standard source of x-ray intensity is required. A calibrated beam monitor was used to measure the properties of the x-ray beam for making the beam a standard source of x-rays. The raytrace effective area calculations were used to measure the detector spectrl response by convolving the raytrace output with a gaussian energy response.
