Pierre Auger internal note.In this GAP note, AMIGA ADC and binary traces are analyzed to obtain an offline calibration of the ADC channels and to study the performance of the underground muon detector in the field. First of all, an uncertainty model for the ADC channels is presented, in which the charge fluctuation is the main contribution to the resolution. We demonstrate that for even low particle densities. the ADC charge behaves linear to the number of muons reconstructed with the binary traces in terms of mean values. A general overview of the results obtained in the station with Id. 1764 is discussed and a test to verify the calibration consistency is presented. Finally, a preliminary analysis of the detector uncertainties is discussed. For N = 1 the integrator resolution is ∼ 20% higher than an ideal Poissonian detector.
