I cannot identify the format of the file you sent.

It is a binary format and visual inspection did not allow me to identify 
it. What program generated it?

The minimum of peaks for calibration is 1. If your detector present 
important energy offset, more peaks are needed but the program does not 
force you. Please remind that, by default, the calibration is usually 
refined later on in the fitting process.

In case of doubt, I remind you the availability of a calibration 
tutorial among the documentation pages:
