The COSPIN telescope was exposed to beams of 250 MeV/nucleon neon and 284 MeV/nucleon argon in order to determine the optimum settings of the LET particle identifier discriminators for the high energy response region. Data from previous calibration were normalized to those of the tests enabling equivalent discriminator settings to be optimized for the low energy region. Thresholds used to separate protons from helium could not be set directly. The telescope can separate adjacent elements in the range 5 to 50 MeV/n, up to argon, with a resolution 7 standard deviations for argon. Off-line analysis of the calibration data reveal crosstalk between the anticoincidence detector D4 and the residual energy detector D3.
