Wavelength calibration for astronomical spectra usually involves the use of different arc lamps for different resolving powers to reduce the problem of line blending. We present a technique which eliminates the necessity of different lamps. A lamp producing a very rich spectrum, normally used only at high resolving powers, can be used at the lowest resolving power as well. This is accomplished by modelling the observed arc spectrum and solving for the wavelength calibration as part of the modelling procedure. Line blending is automatically incorporated as part of the model. The method has been implemented and successfully tested on spectra taken with the Robert Stobie spectrograph of the Southern African Large Telescope.
