Abstract Standard broad-band measurements of the solar soft X-ray spectra are used to derive averaged values of parameters characterizing flaring plasmas i.e. the temperature and emission measure. Derived values of these parameters may be used as a basis for estimating the thermal energy content, densities and other thermodynamic properties of flares. These derived numerical values are subject to errors inherent in the uncertainties of the energy calibration, filter transmission etc., of the measuring device. In this paper we investigate the influence of the uncertainties of the detector's energy calibration on the accuracy of the derived physical characteristics of solar flares. This analysis is based on data obtained from the X-ray photometer flown aboard the Prognoz-10 (Intershock) satellit
